Make Way for the St. Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals, also known as the Cards or the Redbirds, is a team composed of all professional baseball players from Missouri. They were established in 1882 and are part of the Central Division of the National League in Major League Baseball. The team was founded by the American Association as the St. Louis Brown Stockings. They become St. Louis Perfectos in 1899. Right now, they are known as the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cardinals is considered as one of the oldest franchises in professional sports from the west side of Mississippi. They were founded in 1882 and had made a name for themselves early on. After only three years in the league, they managed to win four pennants in a row.

When Stan Musial joined the team in 1941, they went to on to achieve greater heights. He was considered as one of the greatest St. Louis Cardinal players of all time. He had spent 22 long years playing for the team and had won 3 MVP awards in the process. To honor him, his statue was erected just outside the Busch Stadium.

Acquisitions and team manager changes affected the team’s performance in the following years. During the 1980’s, the team traded Garry Templeton for Ozzie Smith. The team used to be under Whitey Herzog’s care at that time. By the 1990’s, he was replaced by Joe Torre until the new owner of the team became William DeWitt, Jr. The year 2000 was yet another story for the Cardinals as Albert Pujols led the team in winning the NL Central title six times in seven years.

The official ballpark of St. Louis Cardinals is the Busch Stadium. It opened in 2006 and at that same year, the Cardinals won the World Series. Hence, they were given the recognition as being the first team to win a World Series in a new ballpark on the first season, since the Yankees did it in 1923.
