(CNN) -- The St. Louis Cardinals will visit the White House on January 17 to commemorate their victory in the 2011 World Series.
The Cardinals won the baseball title in October in a seven-game series against the Texas Rangers.
The victory gave the team their 11th World Series Championship and capped off manager Tony La Russa's career. He retired just three days after the win.
