Information
- The Cardinals
received their nickname from a fan commenting on the beautiful
"cardinal shade of red", it was not until later that
the Cardinal bird actually became the team mascot and logo.
- The Cardinals
have won 9 World Series titles in 16 appearances, with their first
coming in 1926 and the last Championship coming in 1982.
- In 1985,
as the Cardinals face their interstate rivals the Kansas City
Royals leading the series 3-2, a missed call by the umpire rules
Jorge Orta safe at first base. This play sparks a rally by the
Royals forcing a game 7 in which the Royals spank the Cards 11-0,
in what goes down as one of the most controversial World Series
ever.
- On September
8, 1998 Mark “Big
Mac” McGwire hit his 62nd home run of the season to
pass the single season home run record set by Roger Maris in 1961.
He would go on to hit a total of 70 homers that year. It took
37 years for Maris’ record to fall, but only 3 years for
Barry Bonds to set it at 73 (but Bonds holds another distinction
as being one of the most hated players in Baseball). Buy Cardinals
Tickets With Mark McGwire retiring the year before many people
would think the Cardinals would struggle without the home run
hitting power house. The Cardinals however were able to combat
Big Mac’s absence with some strong replacements. Albert
Pujols backed up his Rookie of the Year award by hitting 185 times
and crushing 34 HRs and 127RBIs. Mid season the longtime voice
of the Cardinals Jack Buck died after a battle with cancer. Just
4 days later 33 year old starting pitcher Darryl Kile was found
dead in a Chicago hotel. After understandably struggling after
the losses the Cardinals dedicate the rest of their season to
their fallen friends and won the Central Division. Scott Rolen
was acquired in a blockbuster trade and helped the Cardinals down
the stretch. St. Louis swept the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NLDS
only to get knocked off by the San Francisco Giants in the NLCS
bringing an end to their season of ups and downs. Despite injuries
plaguing the starting rotation the Cardinals were able to remain
in the 3 team race for the NL Central crown. Again Pujols would
lead the team with a .359 average, 43 homers and 124 RBIs and
would finish 2nd in NL MVP voting. Putting the disappointing 2003
season behind them the Cardinals acquired some help for the next
year in Julian Tavarez and Marlon Anderson. Tony Womack was also
brought in right before the 2004 season to fill the void at second
base left after Fernando Vina left town. It turns out the Cardinals
were building a strong team for the next season. 105 wins had
not been achieved by any Cardinals team since 1944. 60 years later
in 2004 the Cardinals reach this feat once again as they win the
NL Central handily. The Cards put up massive numbers in 2004 thanks
to the bats of Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen, and Jim Edmonds, along
with the late season addition of Larry Walker. In the NLDS against
the LA Dodgers the Cardinals ripped the ball apart as the won
the series in 4 games. The NLCS brought the red hot Astros of
Houston into Busch. This series would show that home field does
give a team an advantage as the home team would win all 7 games
and advance the Cardinals to their first World Series since 1987.
Their opponents the Boston Red Sox were coming off the greatest
comeback in sports history, a 3-0 series deficit to the New York
Yankees, and were playing as well as anyone had all year. After
a slugfest in game one bats would cool off and the Cardinals would
be swept by the BOSox. Some off season transactions rid the Cardinals
of three key players including Edgar Renteria to their World Series
opponent the Red Sox, Tony Womack to the high paying New York
Yankees, and Mike Matheny to the San Francisco Giants. Replacing
Renteria the Cardinals signed free agent David Eckstein of the
Angels and moved 2nd year Yadier Molina, who had a solid rookie
season as a backup, into the catcher spot for Matheny.

Cardinals Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)<p>With the Cardinals having stripped some of the top layers of their farm system last year to acquire Matt Holliday and Mark DeRosa, chairman Bill DeWitt Jr., while very high on his current club, acknowledges that the farm system needs to be refurbished as quickly as possible.</p>
<p>"We've given up a lot of young players and elevated players, so our system has been depleted," DeWitt said. "We brag about it when the rating is high. When it's low, we should acknowledge that we've taken a hit. This is a year for us to restore that as well."</p> <p>DeWitt said the club, whose big-league payroll will be somewhat over $90 million, was likely to spend more heavily in this year's amateur draft after paying above slot to last year's first-round pick, high school pitcher Shelby Miller.</p>...
Spring Training Capsules (AP)Stephen Strasburg allowed two solo homers and struck out eight in four innings, and the Washington Nationals beat a St. Louis Cardinals split squad 13-5 on Friday night. Strasburg, the top pick in June's draft who signed a record $15.1 million contract, gave up four hits in his longest of three spring training starts.
Strasburg fans 8 in 4 innings, Nats top Cards 13-5 (AP)Stephen Strasburg watched two of his first 11 pitches sail out of the ballpark. He didn't flinch. So much for the notion that the Washington Nationals' top pitching prospect can't handle a little adversity. After allowing two solo shots in the first inning, Strasburg finished with eight strikeouts in four innings, and the Washington Nationals beat a St.
Marlins pound Carpenter in 7-6 win over Cardinals (AP)Albert Pujols hit his first home run of the spring, but right-hander Chris Carpenter was pounded for seven runs Friday in the St. Louis Cardinals' 7-6 loss to the Florida Marlins. Carpenter gave up six runs on seven hits in the first inning. He threw 21 of his 29 pitches in the first inning for strikes, and the Marlins didn't miss.

Hill struggles again as Cards lose to Braves 5-3 (AP)St. Louis manager Tony La Russa wanted Rich Hill to throw more than the two innings the left-hander had given him in his first two outings of the spring. Hill gave La Russa three on Thursday, but they were hardly a step forward. Hill didn't do anything to improve his bid to become the Cardinals' fifth starter, allowing three earned runs on two hits and five walks in a 5-3 loss to the Atlanta...
Rodriguez drives in 3 runs, Nationals beat Cards (AP)Ivan Rodriguez drove in three runs as John Lannan and a split squad of Washington Nationals beat Kyle Lohse and the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 Tuesday. The Nationals began the day at 0-11 this spring. They won a pair of split-squad games, including a 12-3 victory over Florida. Lohse gave up four runs on seven hits and two walks in four innings.
Davis remembered during Dodger Stadium service (AP)Former Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Willie Davis was remembered as an electrifying on-field presence and a larger-than-life personality in a memorial service Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. "I like to believe the president saw the news and felt a little sadness," his daughter, Kim, said in an hour-long service, "as did the mailman, the man at the doughnut shop, the drug addict...
K-Rod perfect in 2010 debut, Penny hit in elbow (AP)Francisco Rodriguez looked like the dominant pitcher he was with the Angels. K-Rod wore prescription sunglasses in a spring training debut delayed by conjunctivitis, the same look he used to have with the Angels. After Rodriguez retired the side on seven pitches Monday, Angel Pagan hit a two-run, ninth-inning homer off Pete Parise to give the New York Mets a 6-5 victory over the St.

Pujols for Howard? MVPs unfazed by trade buzz (AP)Albert Pujols for Ryan Howard? Let's just say the MVP sluggers don't plan to pack their bags anytime soon. Talk of a megatrade kept baseball buzzing Monday following an ESPN report the Philadelphia Phillies were thinking about asking the St. Louis Cardinals if they'd like to swap star first basemen.
Strasburg works 3 scoreless innings, Nats now 0-10 (AP)Stephen Strasburg is more than holding his own against major league hitters. Challenging weather conditions aren't intimidating the Washington Nationals' top prospect either. Strasburg pitched three scoreless innings and the Nationals fell to 0-10 in exhibition play with a 7-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Pujols returns with 2 singles (AP)Albert Pujols, who returned to action after taking a week to rest a sore back, hit two hard singles in the St. Louis Cardinals' 8-5 victory against the Houston Astros on Saturday. Pujols said his back did not bother him when he swung and it did not get tight. "That's the two things I was looking at and I didn't feel any of that," he said.
Cardinals P Miller has Carpenter as role model (AP)Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller could not have picked a better role model. The 19-year-old Miller says he admires Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter and how hard he works. "He does all the right things. He's always working out and running and busting his butt to be better every day," said Miller, the Cardinals 2009 first-round draft pick.
Cardinals, Red Sox postpone game because of rain (AP)The St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox postponed their game on Friday because of rain and agreed to a rare spring training makeup date. Boston and St. Louis will split their squads on March 22, adding a game in Jupiter. Stadium officials were expecting one of the largest crowds of the spring Friday.
Cardinals beat up on Nunez in 5-3 win over Marlins (AP)The Florida Marlins got another strong start from ace Josh Johnson but a bad ending from their closer Thursday. Johnson struck out four in three scoreless innings before the St. Louis Cardinals beat up on closer Leo Nunez during a five-run ninth for a 5-3 win. Nunez, who saved 26 games last season, allowed four hits before leaving with two outs and runners at second and third.
Duncan faces former team and pitching coach father (AP)In years past, when Chris Duncan wanted a pre-game word with his father, he simply walked into the office adjacent to the clubhouse. On Wednesday, they had to chat outside the batting cage when the Nationals came to play the Cardinals. Chris is in Washington's camp as a non-roster invitee. "It was good to see him," the Cardinals' longtime pitching coach said.
