Is there any more manufactured rivalry than Kansas City vs St Louis? Of course, growing up I have always known about the 1985 World Series and have been mad about that... but ultimately that was more of an umpiring issue. The north side vs south side and other cross-city rivalries I have always viewed as much more potent than a cross-state rivalry. Hell, even Cardinals vs Cubs and Cards vs Reds are SO MUCH more of a rivalry in my mind, but I digress... (and yes I am still mad that the Royals won in 1985 over the Cardinals when I was still under double digits in age).

Game 1

What an insane game this one was! I was at work and could only halfway pay attention, looking on distantly behind piles of work. I knew the Cardinals were losing, but I did not give up hope. Something about this game
