Nick Punto – World Series Champion
Congratulations to Nick Punto and the St. Louis Cardinals for winning the 2011 World Series.
We had the opportunity to meet with Nick in 2010, back in our “Plastic Baseball” days, when he played for the Minnesota Twins.
Punto took the time to pose for this photo while holding one of our plastic baseballs. This was before our league made the switch to use the official Wiffle Ball.
He went 3-for-14 with 5 walks against the Texas Rangers. He also picked up his first World Series ring.
Punto joins Bert Blyleven, Dan Gladden, Tom Kelly, Tommy Lasorda, Doug Mientkiewicz, and Paul Molitor in the elite group of people that have posed for a photo while holding a plastic baseball and who earned a World Series ring.
Punto will probably be most remembered for the crazy play, when he ran around Adrian Beltre and out of the baseline in Game Two of the World Series.
Great job Nick. We were all rooting for you!
