Monday night the Cardinals walked off with the bases loaded, so let's watch David Eckstein's walk off grand slam - A Hunt and Peck

Sunday marked the eleventh anniversary of David Eckstein's unexpected and glorious wall off grand slam. David has long been a fan favorite due to his being adorable and little, a hard-worker, and the best at picking out walkup songs. Eckstein was and still is a man of the people. And so when our scrappy hero smacked that ball into the left field seats, his achievement felt like our own. It was wonderful. It seems only fitting that the day after a magnificent Cardinal ninth inning comeback that we watch it.
