The Cardinals met a what was a potentRed Sox squad fresh off four straight victories over theYankees following an 0–3 deficitin the ALCS . A comeback in this fashionin any North American major sports league had previously occurred only in theNHL . This was the third time the two teams have faced each other in the Fall Classic, with the Cardinals winning the previous two in1946 and1967 . The Cardinals were again without a key player for the World Series: ace pitcherChris Carpenter , who, after going 15–5, tweaked his shoulder in September and missed the entire post-season.
Making his World Series debut in Game 1, Walker collected four hits in five at bats with a home run and two doubles.[ 15] Lou Brock in1967 , also againstBoston .[ 12]
The Cardinals were swept by the Red Sox in four games and struggled to hit, never taking a lead at any point in the series. Pujols, Rolen, and Edmonds, the normally fearsome 3-4-5 hitters for the Cardinals, were 6-for-45 with one RBI. The club batted .190 with a .562 OPS overall. Walker was one of very few exceptions, batting .357 with a 1.366 OPS. His two home runs accounted for the only two hit by the entire Cardinals team.[ 16] [ 12]
