Growing up with a family full of Cardinal fans, I always respected the history.
I thought a little reminder was needed to how special this organization has been.
How many times did we hear stories about listening to the Cards on the Radio? (Great Memories that created my love for sports. Of course I was a Dodger fan and S a devout Reds Fan.)
10 World Series Titles - 2nd to Yankees 27
18 Pennants -2nd to Yankees 40. Tied with Dodgers and Giants.
These are the 42 players that played or coached at St Louis and are in the Hall of Fame.

Good post; I had an uncle who listened on the radio every night from Louisiana to the Cardinals. One of the 3 most iconic franchises in baseball and really what the game is all about.
