Excitement Surrounding Cardinals Playoff Run For Kyle At The MLB Fan Cave

By Kyle Thompson, News9.com Special Contributor

NEW YORK CITY--Even as I sit here typing this, I am still in disbelief that the Cardinals made it to the National League Championship Series. I thought that Game 6 of last year's World Series would forever be the most insane game that I ever watched, but this year's NLDS Game 5 was pretty crazy in its own right. Regardless, the Cardinals are in the NLCS, and that means that there is a chance that I will be watching games 1 and 2 of the World Series IN ST. LOUIS! Fingers crossed everybody...

Just before the Cardinals game on Friday, I got to meet one of my heroes and favorite players of all time: David Eckstein. He was the MVP of the 2006 World Series when the Cardinals beat the Detroit Tigers in five games. I got to hang out with him for quite some time, and let's just say that his stories were great!

Here are the other people that I was able to meet this week:

-Kevin James (actor)

-Dale Murphy (legendary Atlanta Brave)

-Jerry Springer (TV host)

-Josh Charles (actor)

-Dave Stewart (retired Oakland Athletic)

We are just a little over a week away from the World Series, and we are on the cusp of MLB picking an overall winner of this year's Fan Cave. As I have mentioned, I am trying to just push two main things down the stretch:

1. Voting. It's unlimited

2. Twitter following: @KyleOKC

If you could, please do everything that you can to get that info out to your friends, family, and coworkers. Thanks so much for that.
