At last, the Rally Claw meets the Rally Squirrel. Wonder who would win in a bench-clearing brawl…

The Texas Rangers didn’t have to wait very long to see who they’d end up facing in the 2011 World Series. Just a day after they beat the Detroit Tigers to punch their ticket to the Fall Classic, the St. Louis Cardinals emerged victorious in Game 6 to send the Milwaukee Brewers packing for the offseason.

This matchup is going to be pretty awesome, pitting All-Star sluggers Josh Hamilton against Albert Pujols, while guys like Nelson Cruz and David Freese have become household names as Championship Series MVP’s. Then there’s the relief corps, which can clearly handle just about any task put in their paths as the starters from both sides have been less than reliable recently.

The first, last, and only time these two teams met was back in 2004 for a three-game Interleague series in Texas,which is tied for the fewest games between a pair of opponents in the big leagues.
