World Record Baseball Game: Less Than 30 Days

October in St. Louis is right around the corner. Just as the Gateway City’s own, Dirxion, stands alone at the top of the digital publishing industry, so too the St. Louis Cardinals are perched on top of the Central Division, holding the best record in all of the National League in their mighty bird talons. At Dirxion though, this time of the year also means that we are less than 30 days from an even larger and more anticipated baseball game.
You’re probably thinking to yourself, “More anticipated than postseason baseball?!? Which teams could possibly be playing in this game?”
It is a long-awaited rematch between the 1944 American League Champion St. Louis Browns and the 1944 National League Champion St. Louis Cardinals.
“The Browns don’t exist anymore and shouldn’t most of those guys be dead by now? How is this possible, Brad?”
Yes, and anything can happen through the power of pretending. No more questions.
To raise money for the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center, forty men with big hearts (and maybe a little less talent than those other guys) will be wearing the uniforms of the teams from the ‘44 Streetcar Series, commemorating the 65th Anniversary of the one and only all-St. Louis World Series. Their goal is to play a 48-hour non-stop baseball marathon to raise funds for this admirable cause while breaking their 2007 Guinness World Record… plus, probably, three hips and two ankles. Playing baseball for that long sounds fun, but it will probably not come without some wear and tear, so we hope you will help support their efforts.
Dirxion Software is one of the lead sponsors of the World Record Baseball Game, so we intend on keeping you updated right here, from the first pitch to the 3748th. The game isn’t for another 29 days, so in the meantime check out the World Record Baseball Game Website for details regarding all the events going on around the TR Hughes Ball Park the weekend of October 9, 10, and 11, and to find out how you can get your free tickets.
