Final Week 2024 – October 30: St. Louis Cardinals Capture World Series!
On October 30, 2024, Game 7 of the 2024 World Series was played at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, MO.
It's party time in St. Louis. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling. The St. Louis Cardinals have reached the mountaintop, winning the 2024 World Series today. They defeated the Minnesota Twins 4-0 at Busch Stadium to officially close out the series with a 4-3 victory. Asked how it feels to be a champion, starting pitcher Sonny Gray was straightforward. "It feels great, like a million bucks. I'm so happy right now, not just for me but for all the guys," he said. "We put a lot of work into this and deserve to be champions." The team is planning a victory parade and fan appreciation day later in the week. St. Louis finished the regular season 92-70 and secured first place in the National League Central Division.
