Tweet Tweet, Cardinals Fans

Relive the thrill of the Cardinals' 2011 World Series win through the tweets of fans throughout the season.

Whether you're a serious baseball fan or a data nerd (or both), these clear and colorful graphics of St. Louis tweets about the Cardinals during the 2011 World Series are for you.

Infuz, a creative digital agency owned by Kirkwood resident Jason Fiehler, mined through the hundreds of thousands of tweets about the Cardinals within a 50-mile radius of St. Louis city from Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 3, 2011.

"By telling the story of the season through the conversations on Twitter we can start to see the living, breathing soul of the Cardinals as seen through the eyes of its fans," said O'Fallon resident Brad Hogenmiller, who oversaw the project as Infuz's director of social media, on the company's blog. "Twitter presents us with a new channel of discussion, not dissimilar from talk radio, or a group of barstools at the local sports bar. We all get to see these conversations unfold and that’s a fascinating thing."
