La Russa retires after Cards' World Series triumph.

ST. LOUIS -- Now it can be told what St. Louis manager Tony La Russa did at the end of his worst managing night in the big leagues.

He didn't stop managing after World Series Game 5 ended, a game that had been so embarrassing for him that he twice could not properly communicate which reliever he wanted throwing in the bullpen, a breakdown that once left him standing on a World Series mound and greeting one of his pitchers by saying, "Oh, what are you doing here?"

The St. Louis Cardinals finished their improbable run Friday night with a convincing 6 to 2 win, beating the Texas Rangers and giving the franchise another World Series championship.

Make it 11 World Series titles for the Cards, and certainly their most unlikely. St. Louis capped a season filled with comebacks by doing it one more time, beating Texas 6-2 in Game 7.

Cardinals soar to highest perch atop baseball with World Series win.
