The St. Louis Cardinals finished off the Houston Astros with a [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=2123][b:080ad77fff]3-0 NLCS Game 6 shutout[/b:080ad77fff][/url] to secure a date with the New York Yankees in the 83rd World Series.

Righty [b:080ad77fff]Bob Forsch[/b:080ad77fff] was an absolute stud for St. Louis in the series, throwing a total of 15.2 innings in his 2 starts without allowing a single run, and thus earning the NLCS MVP trophy. Though closer [b:080ad77fff]Todd Worrell[/b:080ad77fff] did everything he could to vie for the award - pitching in all 4 of the Cardinals' wins and saving 3 of them, through 4.1 scoreless IP - he'll gladly concede the honor to his teammate.

The World Series starts Saturday with Game 1 in St. Louis.
