| Description |
English: The St. Louis Cardinals, a professional baseball franchise based in St. Louis, Missouri, compete in the National League (NL) of Major League Baseball (MLB). The new Busch Stadium has served as their home park since 2006. The Cardinals' roots commence from an earlier local team of the NL from whom they took their original name, Brown Stockings. St. Louis established themselves in 1882 as a charter member of the American Association (AA), 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, the Cardinals have won eleven World Series championships, 19 National League pennants, and 10 division titles. Their 11 World Series championships are second only to the New York Yankees' 27. St. Louis also dominated the AA with four league championships, one pre-World Series championship, and tied another against the NL. Other notable achievements include Branch Rickey's pioneering of the farm system, Rogers Hornsby's two Triple Crowns, Joe Medwick's one Triple Crown, Dizzy Dean's 30-win season, Stan Musial's 17 Major League and 29 NL records, Bob Gibson's 1.12 ERA season, Whitey Herzog's Whiteyball, Mark McGwire breaking the single-season home run record, and the 2011 championship team's unprecedented comebacks. The Cardinals have won 105 or more games in four different seasons and won 100 or more a total of eight times. Cardinals players have won 20 league MVPs, four batting Triple Crowns, and three Cy Young Awards. Baseball Hall of Fame inductees include Lou Brock, Dizzy Dean, Gibson, Herzog, Hornsby, Joe Medwick, Stan Musial, Rickey, Red Schoendienst, Ozzie Smith, Bruce Sutter, and Tony La Russa. Their historic rivalry with the Chicago Cubs is one of the most storied in professional sports. An investment group headed by William DeWitt, Jr., the chairman and managing partner, has owned the Cardinals since 1995. John Mozeliak is the general manager and Mike Matheny is the manager. Renowned for strong support from fans despite being in one of the sport's middle markets, the Cardinals routinely see attendances among the league's highest, and are consistently among the top three in MLB in local television ratings. As of 2014, Forbes valued the Cardinals at $820 million, making them the eighth-most valuable franchise in MLB. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Cardinals en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
