If you've followed Will Leitch and read his work over the years from Black Table and Deadspin to New York Magazine and Sports on Earth (and, heck, even on Twitter), it's impossible you've missed his love of the St. Louis Cardinals. His entry for catcher Darrell Portera former Cardinal, of coursefor the new baseball-profile collection The Hall of Nearly Great opens with a sizable chunk dedicated to Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, 24 years after Porter last played a major-league game. Even nearly a year later, Leitch's prose creates the feeling of experiencing for the first time the incredible moments of David Freese's game-tying triple and game-winning walk-off homer.
