On September 6th, 2011 (https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/index.fcgi?year=2011&month=09&day=6), the St. Louis Cardinals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_St._Louis_Cardinals_season) had just a 0.1% chance of winning the World Series (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjy4vKGiZyUAxWcHjQIHZJJEusQFnoECDYQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F2011_World_Series&usg=AOvVaw14fMfnJiVc5_cusoYgVfsq&opi=89978449). They went on an incredible run over the next month and a half, beating out the Braves for the Wild Card (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Major_League_Baseball_wild_card_chase) in the final game of the season, upsetting the best team in baseball in the NLDS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_National_League_Division_Series), and coming back from multiple do-or-die situations in a dramatic World Series against the Texas Rangers.
