The St. Louis established themselves in 1882 as a charter American Association (AA) team, shortened their name to "Browns" the next season, then joined the NL in 1892. They were also known as the "Perfectos" before adopting Cardinals as their official name in 1900. As one of the most decorated and successful franchises in MLB history, St. Louis has won eleven World Series championships, 19 National League pennants, and 12 division titles. Their 11 World Series titles are second only to the New York Yankees' 27. Baseball Hall of Fame inductees include Lou Brock, Dizzy Dean, Gibson, Herzog, Hornsby, Joe Medwick, Musial, Rickey, Red Schoendienst, Ozzie Smith, and Bruce Sutter. Their historic rivalry with the Cubs is one of the most storied in professional sports.
An investment group headed by William DeWitt, Jr. owns the Cardinals, who is the chairman and managing partner. John Mozeliak is the general manager and Mike Matheny is the manager. As of 2013, Forbes valued the Cardinals at $716 million, making them the tenth-most valuable franchise in MLB "in the best single-team baseball market" in the United States.

disappointed
I've been a fan since i seen Ozzie Smith play. That's been well over 40 years. Still am a fan of the ST. Louis Cardinals and will always be. But,i wonder sometimes. What are you guys doing to us fans? I mean the owner or whoever pays the team players salary. They have spent over 100,000 on Brett Cecil,Dexter Fowler, Eric Fryer, and extended Molina's contract and this is what we get?
Let's get it together and fly high! :Like a true Cardinal
Sincerely,Dave Weyant
Harrison Bader, et al.
Here's a shout out to Harrison Bader. I am overjoyed when he plays. My friend told me about Tommy Edman when he was in Springfield; and now he's here, in St. Louis. He is great, too. These young players have done a world of good for our team. Of course, I like Yadier Molina, as well. What an exciting season this has been. I liked #25 when Julian Javier wore the Jersey in 1964; and like Dexter Fowler, wearing it, too. I went to the World Series in 1964 and would consider it a miracle to go again, in 2019. Good Luck Birds. Birds I've You in my Cardinalette Uniform I wore in the 1970's! I've lots of scorecards and pennants, too! Keep up the good work!
