Playing 162 games in a baseball season can be grueling, and when the summer days get long, sometimes the best pick-me-up is a good laugh. Baseball bloopers are all over the internet, on television highlight reels and on scoreboards during games. So as we wait for these winter months to

Though there is often an urgency to declare winners and losers after a trade is executed, rarely is the full impact of a deal realized immediately. Time can peel away unforeseen layers and thus best judge whether one team pulled off a heist or whether both benefited equally. With the

The Cardinals’ history is full of pitching prowess, with Bob Gibson coming to mind, and the team has seen no-hitters come in bunches. From 1968 through 1978, St. Louis had three no-hitters -- including one by Gibson in 1971 -- after not having thrown one since 1941. A similar stretch

The Clydesdales are groomed and prepped. Legends and Hall of Famers are primed to take part in an escapade around the warning track. The baselines and grass are as crisp as they’ll be all season. There’s not an empty seat at Busch Stadium. It’s officially baseball time in a baseball

Baseball history has seen a player hit four home runs in a game 21 times. One of those players did it with the Cardinals. There have been two players with 12 RBIs in a game -- both were Cardinals. And one Cardinals player had four home runs and 12 RBIs

There are some uniform numbers that are synonymous with the players who wore them. No. 6 is for Stan “The Man” Musial, No. 1 for Ozzie Smith, No. 4 for Yadier Molina. You can’t see No. 50 without thinking of Adam Wainwright or No. 2 without thinking of Red Schoendienst.

Some of the Cardinals’ most memorable teams are the underdogs, the ragtag bunches that pulled a championship out of thin air for one of the 11 in franchise history. Or those that came close but fell just short. But it takes a winning regular season to get there, and when

Since the MLB Draft was installed in 1965, the Cardinals have done wonders uncovering franchise icons through the trade market. Lou Brock, Ozzie Smith, Adam Wainwright, Jim Edmonds and several others were acquired and starred in St. Louis only after first being discovered by other clubs. But the Cardinals’ Draft

You know their names: Pujols, Musial, Brock, Gibson. The Cardinals’ list of legends rivals any in Major League Baseball based on their years of consistent excellence on and off the field. But first impressions are important, able to make or break a relationship between player and city. So, how did

Busch Stadium has seen its fair of legendary moments. So it should be no surprise that the list of the top Cardinals moments in their home ballpark is rife with prime selections. In fact, it was hard to limit this list to just five picks. But let’s try. For the

You don’t have to be an all-time Cardinals great to have an all-time great game for the Cardinals -- although some of the greats have certainly had standout performances. One legendary game can put a player in the record books and provide a lifetime of memories, no matter the season

Much has been written about an all-time Cardinals lineup. There’s Bob Gibson on the mound, Stan Musial in the outfield, Albert Pujols at first. Ozzie Smith anchors the infield at shortstop. All of the all-time greats are on those lists, based on their long careers in St. Louis. But what

While the St. Louis Cardinals franchise can trace its roots back years before Opening Day in 1899, it was that windy April day in St. Louis that future Hall of Famers Cy Young, Bobby Wallace and Jesse Burkett would make history as the modern-day club. The three were playing on

ST. LOUIS -- On May 14, 1988, José Oquendo really became the player who could do it all. The Cardinals' utility man pitched four innings in a 19-inning game against the Braves, and though he suffered the loss in a 7-5 defeat after allowing two runs in the 19th, Oquendo
