This World Series will be good, and good for baseball

Two historic franchises who have met before, in 1946 and again in 1967.

Two fan bases who are starved for victory. The Cardinals haven't won it all in years, and the Sox...well...you know that story. Both teams have absolutely devoted fans who will hang on every single pitch.

The Cardinals led the National League in offense. The Red Sox led the American League in offense.

The Cardinals have Pujols, Edmonds and Rolen. The Sox have Manny and Ortiz.

The Cardinals play excellent NL defense and small-ball, but can hang runs up in bunches. The Red Sox bring AL bat thunder, along with uncharachteristic speed, and a guy named Schilling.

We get to see Pedro Martinez and Derek Lowe swing the bat.

'Nuff said.

Whatever happens, this will be a great series. I already have my own pet nickname for it.

The Red Mass.
