JOHN MOZELIAKSENIOR VICE PRESIDENT / GENERAL MANAGER
John “Mo” Mozeliak was named the Cardinals Vice President/General
Manager on October 31, 2007. Mozeliak was promoted from his previous
position as Assistant General Manager with the club, a position he had
held for six seasons. He is the 12th general manager in more than 100 years
of Cardinals baseball history.
Mozeliak made several moves prior to the 2011 season to try positioning
the club for another postseason appearance. He signed free agent outfielder
Lance Berkman and infielder Nick Punto, as well as trading for shortstop
Ryan Theriot.
In January of 2010, Mo orchestrated the largest player contract in team
franchise history with the signing of Matt Holliday to a seven-year deal with
an option for 2017. He re-signed pitcher Kyle Lohse, who he picked up as
a free-agent in March 2008, to a four-year deal the day following the conclusion of the 2008 season. Upon
being named GM in 2007, he completed a deal with catcher Yadier Molina on a four-year contract with a club
option for a fifth year that ensures one of the best young catchers in the game remains in a Cardinals
uniform through at least 2011.
His in-season moves in 2009 helped the Cardinals to their first N.L. Central Division title under his watch.
Mo traded for infielders Mark DeRosa and Julio Lugo and made his biggest splash with a trade on July 24
that brought outfielder Matt Holliday to St. Louis. He also added veteran right handed pitcher John Smoltz
in August to bolster the pitching staff. In addition, he signed relievers Ryan Franklin and Trever Miller to new
contracts during the 2009 season to keep them with the Cardinals for at least another two years.
Mozeliak, 42, is a 16-year veteran of the Cardinals front office. He joined the organization following the
1995 season and served as an assistant in scouting operations during the 1996 and ‘97 seasons. He was
named the assistant scouting director in 1998 and promoted to scouting director during 1999 and 2000. Several
notable players came out of the draft classes of ‘99 and 2000 under Mo’s direction, most notably first
baseman and perennial All-Star Albert Pujols who was drafted in the 13th round of the 1999 draft and
catcher Yadier Molina.
In 2001, Mozeliak was named the Director of Baseball Operations and he was promoted to Assistant General
Manager in 2003. During his time as Asst. GM his duties increased as he focused more on the Major
League club and professional scouting, while still having direct involvement in both the scouting and player
development departments.
Mozeliak began his career in baseball in 1993 with the Colorado Rockies where he worked in a variety
of positions in baseball operations. He attended the University of Arizona and is a graduate of the University
of Colorado. He lives in St. Louis with his wife, Julie, and daughter, Allyson More (7/22/99) and son, William
John (1/7/05).

On October 18, 2010, hesigned a one-year contract to be the Manager of the Cardinals for a team-leading 16thseason. His current 15 seasons are the most continuous years of managerial servicewith the organization, surpassing Hall of Famer Red Schoendienst (12). La Russa hasguided his Cardinal teams to a franchise record 1,318 wins and is tops on the Cardsall-time games managed list with 2,429 games.
La Russa has led his Cardinals teams to eight division titles, two National LeaguePennants and a 10th World Championship title in 2006. In addition to ranking first onthe Cardinals all-time games managed list (2,429), he is the 17th manager in MajorLeague history to surpass 2,000 games managed with one team. He currently ranks3rd on Major League Baseball’s all-time managerial wins list with 2,638 and 2nd in all-time games managed with 4,935. With the Redbirds World Series title in 2006, La Russajoined Sparky Anderson as the only managers in Major League history to have wona World Series in both the American and National League, and he and Leo Durocherare the only managers in Major League history to have 500 or more wins with threedifferent teams.
La Russa’s Cardinal teams have finished above .500 in 12 of his 15 seasons,including the 2004 and 2005 seasons in which the team recorded 105 and 100 wins,respectively, making La Russa just the second Cardinals manager to oversee two 100-win campaigns. His Cardinals teams have finished no lower than 3rd place in all but
three seasons and they have held 1st place or been within a game of 1st place during the month of September in nine of the past11 seasons. Prior to 2007’s 78-84 finish, the Cardinals were the lone National League team to have posted a winning record in everyseason since 2000.
The 105 Cardinals victories in 2004 were the most by any La Russa-managed club in his career and the 105 wins tied for thesecond most in Cardinals’ franchise history with the 1943 and 1944 clubs. The team’s 105-57 record was tops in the Majors in 2004.La Russa was honored that season with the Negro League Museum’s C.I. Taylor Award as Manager of the Year. Tony has also beenhonored as the N.L. Manager of the Year by the BBWAA in 2002 when the Cardinals won 97 games after he guided the team to theN.L. Central title in an emotion-filled season.
La Russa was hired by the Cardinals on October 23, 1995, after managing for 17 years in the American League with Oaklandand Chicago. In his first N.L. season, La Russa guided the Cardinals to the 1996 Central Division title and was named Major LeagueManager of the Year by the Associated Press.
Regarded by his peers as one of the game’s top managers, La Russa’s honors include Manager of the Year recognition in fiveseasons, eight N.L. Central Division titles, two N.L. pennants, five A.L. Western Division titles, three A.L. pennants and two WorldSeries championships. He has served as manager of the 2007 and 2005 National League All-Star teams and was a coach for theN.L. All-Star team in both 2003 and 2009.
La Russa began his professional managing career in 1978 with Knoxville of the Class- AA Southern League before taking hisfirst major league managing job on August 2, 1979, with the Chicago White Sox. In seven-plus seasons (1979-86) with the WhiteSox, La Russa quickly established his managerial acumen. In 1983, he guided Chicago to the A.L. West title and the best record inthe major leagues, 99-63. He was rewarded with Manager of the Year accolades from the Sporting News, the Associated Press andthe Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
In 1984, La Russa’s White Sox were tied for first place at the All-Star break before finishing fifth with a 74-88 record. He was relievedof his duties on June 19, 1986, and took over as the Oakland manager on July 7. In just his second full year with the A’s, La Russamanaged the club to an A.L. West-record 104 wins, the A.L. pennant and into the 1988 World Series. He again earned Manager ofthe Year honors from the BBWAA and the Sporting News. For three straight years, 1988-90, the A’s led the major leagues invictories, only the 11th time in history that a team had accomplished such a feat. During that span, La Russa’s A’s became the firstteam to win three consecutive A.L. pennants since the 1976-78 New York Yankees.
In 1989, La Russa guided the Athletics to their fourth World Championship sincethe club moved to Oakland, sweeping the Giants in four straight games during theearthquake-interrupted Bay Bridge Series.
On July 14, 1991, La Russa became the 40th manager in major league history towin 1,000 career games. He earned a third Manager of the Year award in 1992 aftersteering the A’s to their fourth A.L. West title in five years. He is Oakland’s all-time leaderin games managed (1,471) and victories (798).
The former infielder signed his first pro contract with the Kansas City Athletics onthe night he graduated from high school in 1962. He made his major league debut withKansas City just one year later. La Russa didn’t return to the majors again until 1968, this time with the A’s of Oakland. He went onto play parts of four seasons in Oakland before concluding his big-league playing career with Atlanta and the Chicago Cubs. Overall,his professional career spanned 16 seasons.
La Russa, the 48th manager in Cardinals history, actually was a member of the organization once previously, when he was aplayer-coach for the Cardinals Triple-A New Orleans affiliate in 1977.
A graduate of Florida State University’s School of Law in 1978, La Russa passed the bar exam in December 1979, making himone of only five lawyer/managers in baseball history. The other four are Monte Ward (New York Giants, Brooklyn and Providence,late 1800s), Hughie Jennings (Detroit, 1907-20, New York Giants, 1924), Miller Huggins (St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees,1913-29) and Branch Rickey (St. Louis Browns, 1913-15, St. Louis Cardinals, 1919-25).

Duncan, 65, will be serving in his 16th season as the Cardinals’ pitching coach afterbeing appointed to the post on October 23, 1995. This season marks his 32nd as apitching coach - the most all-time in the majors, surpassing Galen Cisco’s 28 years.
The Cardinals pitching staff had the fourth-lowest ERA (3.57) in the National Leaguein 2010 and Adam Wainwright became the fourth Cardinals 20-game winner under DaveDuncan’s watch, joining Chris Carpenter, Matt Morris and Darryl Kile.
His 2005 pitching staff posted the Cardinals first ERA (3.45) title since 1969 and thestarting staff recorded 81 wins, the most by a Cardinals team since the beginning ofDivisional play. His 2004 pitching staff finished percentage points behind Atlanta forthe National League’s ERA title (3.75), while the team’s 3.01 bullpen ERA rankedamong the league’s best as did the team’s 89 quality starts. In each of his first two
seasons, the pitching staff set club records for strikeouts and ranked in the top six in the league in ERA. Before joining the Cardinals, Duncan had been Oakland’s pitching coach since July 1986, when he joined the A’s along
with manager Tony La Russa. Under Duncan’s guidance, the Oakland staff ranked as one of the best in baseball, leadingthe American League in ERA from 1988 through 1990. In 1990, the A’s had the lowest earned-run average in the majors,becoming just the second A.L. staff to do so since the inception of the DH rule in 1973.
Duncan began his coaching career in 1978 with the Cleveland Indians. In 1982, he was hired as Seattle’s pitchingcoach, and the Mariners responded by leading the A.L. in strikeouts and finishing second in saves and shutouts. He left theMariners in 1983 to join La Russa and the Chicago White Sox.
A former catcher, Duncan signed with the Kansas City A’s in 1963 and made his major league debut in 1964. When theA’s moved to Oakland, Duncan moved with them and appeared in both the 1971 and 1972 A.L. Championship Series andthe 1972 World Series. Duncan concluded his playing career with two-year stints in both Cleveland (1973-74) and Baltimore(1975-76).
During his playing and coaching career, Duncan has been associated with eight Cy Young Award winners: he coachedBob Welch, Dennis Eckersley, LaMarr Hoyt and Chris Carpenter; and caught Vide Blue and Jim Hunter in Oakland, andJim Palmer and Mike Cuellar in Baltimore.
Duncan and his wife, Jeanine, have two sons, David (Shelley) and Chris. Shelley was drafted by the New York Yankeesin the June 2001 draft and made his Major League debut on July 20, 2007. Chris was a supplemental first-round draft pickby the Cardinals in the June 1999 draft and spent three-plus seasons as part of the Cardinals Major League team beforea mid-season trade to Boston in 2009. Dave was honored at the January 2009 St. Louis Baseball Writers Dinner with aMeritorious Service Award. He and Jeanine make their off-season home near Table Rock Lake, Mo.

HittinG coacHMark McGwire was named as the Cardinals hitting coach on October 26, 2009, his first
return to uniform since announcing his retirement as a player following the 2001 season.McGwire, along with the Chicago Cubs Sammy Sosa, inspired a renaissance of the NationalPastime in 1998 as he blasted his way to a then major league record 70 home runs, eclipsingRoger Maris’ 1961 record of 61 homers. He currently ranks T8th with Alex Rodriguez on MajorLeague Baseball’s all-time home run list (583) and holds the majors single-season rookie recordfor home runs with 49, set in 1987 with the Oakland A’s.
A 12-time Major League All-Star selection, McGwire played parts of 12 seasons withthe Oakland A’s (1986-97) and four-plus seasons for the Cardinals (1997-2001).
“Big Mac” was selected by the Oakland A’s in the first round (10th player overall) of theJune 1994 amateur draft out of the University of Southern California. He was voted theconsensus American League Rookie of the Year in 1987 when his 49 homers led the leagueand tied for the Major League high. He hit a dramatic game winning homer in the ninthinning of Game 3 in 1988 World Series vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers and was a key cog inthe A’s World Championship title run in 1989 when Oakland defeated the San Francisco Giantsin the “Earthquake Series”. He hit an Oakland record and major league-leading 52 home
runs in 1996, becoming just the 14th player in Major League history to hit 50 home runs.In 1997, Mark became only the second Major Leaguer, after Babe Ruth, to hit 50 or more homers in consecutive seasons and
he became the first player to hit 20 home runs with two different teams in one season, hitting 24 homers for the Cardinals after arrivingin a July 31 trade from Oakland. He matched his previous single-season high for home runs on Sept. 16 vs. LA, when he launcheda 517-foot blast off the facade above the left-center field scoreboard — at the time the longest estimated homer at Busch Stadium.Earlier that same day he’d signed a contract extension with the Cardinals through the year 2000.
In addition to breaking the single-season home record in 1998, Mark led all Major Leaguers with a .752 slugging average, secondin N.L. history to Rogers Hornsby’s .756 average in 1925. One of that season’s more memorable blasts was a 545-foot shot off Florida’sLivan Hernandez on 5/16 that caromed off the St. Louis Post-Dispatch sign in dead center field. Mark connected for historic homerun No. 62 at 8:18 p.m. Central Time on Tue., Sept. 8 vs. CHI. With nobody on, two outs and the Cards trailing, 2-0, in the fourth inning,McGwire lined the first pitch from Cubs righthander Steve Trachsel an estimated 341 feet over the left-field wall — his shortest homerof the year. The ball cleared the wall 15 feet to the right of the foul pole and was retrieved under the stands by grounds crew workerTim Forneris. In the Sept. 27 season finale vs. MON, Mark hit a solo homer (No. 69) off Mike Thurman in the third and blasted No.70 off Carl Pavano in the seventh — a three-run shot to left in his final at-bat of the year.
He followed up his record-breaking season by hitting 65 home runs in 1999 to lead all Major Leaguers for the fourth straight season.He joined the exclusive 500 career home run club on Aug. 5 vs. SD, clouting a pair of homers off Andy Ashby: No. 500 was a 451-foot solo blast to center field; No. 501 was a 479-foot solo drive to left-center. He became only the second player, after Harmon Killebrew,to have a multihomer game while reaching 500 homers. He was named to baseball’s All-Century Team during the 1999 World Series.At the time of Mark’s contract signing in 1997, he announced that he was founding the Mark McGwire Foundation for Children to assistagencies that work with child-abuse victims...Mark and his family reside in southern California.

McKay, 61, enters his 16th season as the Cardinals’ first-base coach and his 26th
season on Tony La Russa’s coaching staff. McKay was La Russa’s first-base coach
in Oakland from 1989-95 and handled bullpen and bench coach duties for the A’s
beginning in 1984. In all, McKay spent 16 years as a player or coach in the Oakland
system.
McKay was signed by the Minnesota Twins in 1971 and spent four seasons in the
minor leagues. He broke into the majors in a big way, homering off Detroit’s Vern
Ruhle in his first big-league at-bat on Aug. 22, 1975. He hit safely in 21 of his first 22
major league games.
After the 1976 season, the Twins lost McKay in the expansion draft to Toronto, where
McKay was the starting third baseman in the first game in Blue Jays franchise history.
After splitting time between Toronto and Syracuse in 1979, McKay signed with the A’s in 1980. He played for Oakland through
1982, helping the A’s to the 1981 Western Division crown by batting .288 in the second half and belting a home run in the
divisional playoff series against Kansas City. He spent the 1983 season in the minor leagues as a player-coach.
McKay attended Columbia Basin Junior College in Pasco, Wash., and Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. Born in
Vancouver, B.C., McKay was inducted into the Canadian National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001. He and his wife, Lene,
who is from Denmark, make their home in Scottsdale, Ariz. Their son, Cody, was a catcher in the Cardinals organization
from 2004-2005. Dave and Lena enjoy spending time in the offseason with Cody, his wife, Tiernan, and their three children:
Eden, Rocco and Gioia.

tHiRd-Base coacH
Oquendo is in his 12th season as the Cardinals’ third-base coach, after joining the
club’s major league staff in 1999 as bench coach. Upon ending his playing career, he
was a field instructor in the Cardinals farm system in 1997 before managing the
Redbirds’ New Jersey affiliate to a 34-41 finish in 1998.
Oquendo’s professional playing career spanned 17 seasons and included big-
league duty with the New York Mets (1983-84) and Cardinals (1986-95). Dubbed the
“Secret Weapon” during his 10 seasons with the Redbirds, Oquendo established
single-season major league records for the highest fielding percentage (.996) and
fewest errors by a second baseman (three) in 1990. He also led the league in fielding
in 1989 and compiled a .992 fielding average at second base for his career.
Oquendo batted .286 for the Cardinals’ 1987 pennant-winning club and hit a career-
high .291 in 1989 while playing in a league-high 163 games. In 1988, Oquendo
became the first National League player since 1918 to play all nine positions in one season.
A native of Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, Oquendo, 47, now makes his home in St. Louis County with his wife, Zenaida, their
four children, and granddaughter, Gabriela. He was voted top utility man on the All-Busch Stadium II team in 2005. Oquendo
managed the Puerto Rican team in the inaugural World Baseball Classic in 2006 and again in 2009 and was the manager
of the victorious World Team during the MLB Futures Game that was played during the 2009 All-Star Week in St. Louis.

Lou Brock, named as a special instructor on December 9, 1994, assists with base-
running and outfield instruction during spring training and periodically throughout the
season. He served as a base-running consultant for Montreal in 1993, Los Angeles
in 1988 and Minnesota in 1987; all three clubs increased their stolen base totals over
the previous season.
Brock, 71, is the National League’s all-time leader with 938 stolen bases, including
an N.L.-record 118 thefts in 1974. He established a major league record with 12
seasons of 50 or more steals (1965-76) and led the league in steals eight times. He was
the first player to steal at least 50 bases and hit 20 homers in the same season, posting
a 21-homer, 52-steal campaign in 1967. His 3,023 hits rank 23rd on the all-time list.
While teammate Bob Gibson served as the pitching linchpin in the 1964, 1967 and 1968 World Series, Brock was the
club’s offensive catalyst. He established major league records for highest career batting average (.391) and most stolen
bases in a single Series (seven, in both 1967 and 1968).
In 1985, Brock was inducted into the Hall of Fame. His uniform No. 20 is one of 11 that have been retired by the
Cardinals. Since the end of his playing career, Brock has been involved in many marketing and promotional ventures. He
is the founder and president of Brockworld Products. He also worked in the Cardinals’ broadcast booth from 1981 to 1984.
He was voted leftfielder on the All-Busch Stadium II team at the end of the 2005 season. The National League has named
the award given to the N.L.’s stolen base champion the “Lou Brock Award” in honor of Lou’s success on the basepaths.

Bob Gibson, who earned distinction as one of baseball’s fiercest competitors and
most dominating pitchers of all time as a Cardinal from 1959 to 1975, is in his 16th
season as Cardinals special instructor. Gibson, 75, served as the Cardinals’ bullpen coach
in 1995. He formerly was a pitching coach under Joe Torre for the New York Mets
(1981) and Atlanta Braves (1982-84).
A winner of the N.L. Cy Young Award in 1968 and 1970, Gibson also earned
league MVP honors in 1968, when he set a major league record for lowest ERA (1.12)
for a pitcher with 300 or more innings. That June, he pitched five shutouts, tying an
N.L. record for one month.
In World Series competition, few players compared to Gibson. He pitched a record
eight consecutive complete games over the course of the 1964, 1967 and 1968
Series, winning seven games. His 35 strikeouts in the 1968 Series still stand as a record, as does his single-game mark
of 17 strikeouts, established in the Series opener. He also holds the career mark for most games with 10 or more strikeouts
(five).
Gibson was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1981. His career totals include a team-record 251 victories and 3,117 strikeouts.
He fanned more than 200 batters nine times, won nine Gold Gloves and was a nine-time N.L. All-Star. His uniform No. 45
is one of 11 retired by the Cardinals. Gibson was voted top starting pitcher on the All-Busch Stadium II team in 2005.
He and his wife, Wendy, make their home in Bellevue, Neb. His son, Chris, was signed by the Cardinals in January of
2008 and spent playing time in both the Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers minor league system.

speciaL assistant to tHe GeneRaL manaGeR
Red Schoendienst has been involved in professional baseball for the past 69
seasons. He coached in St. Louis from 1961-64 under Manager Johnny Keane and
in 1965 began a 12-year stint as Cardinals manager. His 12 seasons at the helm of
the Redbirds stood as the longest tenure in club history until current manager, Tony
La Russa, managed his 13th season in 2008. Schoendienst managed the Cardinals
to a World Series championship in 1967 and a National League pennant in 1968.
He also served as interim manager of the Redbirds in 1980 and 1990, and coached
for the Oakland A’s in 1977 and 1978.
As a player, Schoendienst appeared with the Cardinals in 15 seasons, mostly as
their second baseman. He played in three World Series: in 1946 with the Cardinals and
in 1957 and 1958 with Milwaukee. He was chosen to 10 N.L. All-Star Game squads, and in 1950 cracked a game-winning
home run in the 14th inning. He also managed the National League All-Stars to victories in 1968 and 1969.
In 1989, Schoendienst was paid baseball’s ultimate honor with his induction into the Hall of Fame. During his career,
he collected 2,449 hits, including a league-high 200 in 1957, batted .289, and tied or led the league in fielding at his position
seven times. His uniform No. 2 was retired by the Cardinals in 1996.
Schoendienst was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame on November 7, 1987. During his playing days, he

The scouting department has employees devoted to searching for baseball talent in four unique areas, including
professional, college, high school and international. Professional Scouts analyze major and minor league players from
other organizations and compile reports for potential trades and signings. Area Scouts live and work within an assigned
geographic area of the United States and scout the amatuer ranks for talent. Each area scout is assigned a collegiate
conference within their region to analyze and report. Crosscheckers verify top talent from coast to coast.

The dArryL KiLe AWArdAt its annual dinner in January of 2003, the St. Louis Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America announcedthe creation of the Darryl Kile Award. It is given annually to the Cardinal player, by vote of his teammates, whodemonstrates the qualities that Darryl brought to the clubhouse every day: those of a good teammate, a great friend, afine father, and a humble man. A veteran of 331 big league starts, Darryl was never on the disabled list at the MajorLeague level and prided himself on never missing a start. The award was not given in 2002 in honor of Darryl.

before the first game at Busch Stadium on April 10, 2006.
hisTOry
In the 119-year history of the St. Louis Cardinals, 13 individuals have enjoyed such distinguished careers on thefield, in the dugout, or from the owners box or broadcast booth that their uniform numbers have been retired by theorganization. Only the New York Yankees (14) have recognized more individuals with retired numbers. The honoredRedbirds’ jersey numbers appear in two areas; encircled in a series below the main scoreboard and above the Coca ColaScoreboard Patio in right-center field and on the left-field wall at the new Busch Stadium. Along with the 13 Cardinals retired numbers is that of Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, whose uniform No. 42 wasretired throughout Major League Baseball in 1997 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his breaking the big-leaguecolor barrier. Robinson played for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947 to 1956. He was the National League Rookie of theYear in 1947, the Most Valuable Player in 1949 and a five-time All-Star. Robinson was inducted into the Hall of Fame in1962. The most recent honory was Hall of Fame manager Whitey Herzog, who returned to Busch Stadium for theceremony in front of a sell out crowd honoring him and the 1985 Cardinals versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 31, 2010.

Ozzie Smith is widely regarded as the finest fielding shortstop of all time. But after being labeled as a
good-field, no-hit performer early in his career, he developed into a bona fide offensive threat, as well.
The Cardinals acquired Smith from the San Diego Padres in exchange for shortstop Garry
Templeton on Feb. 11, 1982. It proved to be one of the greatest trades in franchise history. Smith was a
key element in St. Louis' success of the 1980s, and became one of the city's most popular citizens.
A lifetime .231 batter when he arrived in St. Louis, Smith promptly hit .248 for the 1982 season as
the Cardinals won the World Series over the Milwaukee Brewers. In 1985, Smith batted at a .276 clip with
a career high of six home runs and 54 RBI. He subsequently stunned the baseball world with a game-
winning homer in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 5 of the National League Championship Series
against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The blast - on a 1-2 pitch from reliever Tom Niedenfuer - was Smith's
first as a left-handed batter in 3,009 at-bats and prompted Cardinals' broadcaster Jack Buck to exclaim,
"Go crazy, folks! Go crazy!" Smith put together his finest season at the plate in 1987, with career highs of
a .303 average and 75 RBI, as the Cardinals captured their third N.L. pennant in six seasons. He finished
as runner-up for the Most Valuable Player Award to Andre Dawson of the Chicago Cubs.
Throughout his offensive progression, Smith seemingly made every play defensively, both the
routine and the spectacular. "The Wizard" won 13 consecutive Gold Gloves between 1980 and 1992,
setting a major league record with an all-time low of eight errors in 1991. Smith's most eye-popping play
came Aug. 4, 1986, against the Philadelphia Phillies at Busch Stadium. He took off on a short fly ball to
left field hit by Von Hayes and, with his back to the plate, flew parallel to the ground and completely
stretched out to make the catch. Upon his retirement, Smith was baseball's career leader in assists
(8,375), chances accepted (12,624) and double plays (1,590) by a shortstop. He led the N.L. in fielding
percentage eight times and had a career .978 mark, fifth in baseball annals at the end of his career.
Smith was selected to 15 All-Star Games, and when he retired following the 1996 season, he had
received more votes in fan balloting for the Mid-Summer Classic than any other player in N.L. history
(27,597,904). Upon retirement, Smith ranked second among Cardinals in walks (876); third in games
(1,990), at-bats (7,160) and stolen bases (433); sixth in runs (991) and hits (1,944); and ninth in doubles
(338).
Smith was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2002, his first year on the ballot, receiving nearly 92
percent of the votes from the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Fans voted Smith shortstop on the All-Busch Stadium team, which was announced on October 1,
2005 as part of final weekend festivities at the stadium.
In 2007, Smith was named the shortstop on the All-Time Rawlings Gold Glove Team, created to
honor the Rawlings Gold Glove Award’s 50th anniversary.

The name Albert "Red" Schoendienst is synonymous with Cardinals' baseball. After all, he wore the
uniform for some 45 seasons as a player, coach and manager and still is involved with the organization as
special assistant to the general manager.
It all started in 1945, when Schoendienst joined the club three years after signing out of nearby
Germantown, Ill. Schoendienst batted .278 with 47 RBI and a National League-leading 26 stolen bases.
Originally an outfielder, Schoendienst moved to third base and then shortstop before settling in at second
base the following year. St. Louis won the World Series over the Boston Red Sox as Schoendienst began
to develop into one of the best hitting and fielding second basemen of all time.
In 1953, Schoendienst put together his finest season. He established career highs of a .342 batting
average - second in the league to Carl Furrillo of the Brooklyn Dodgers at .344 - with 15 home runs and
79 RBI. On June 14, 1956, Schoendienst was involved in a surprising trade when he was sent to the New
York Giants along with outfielder Jackie Brandt, pitcher Dick Littlefield, catcher Bill Sarni and shortstop
Bobby Stephenson in exchange for shortstop Alvin Dark, catcher Ray Katt, pitcher Don Liddle and
outfielder Whitey Lockman.
The following year, Schoendienst was traded to the Milwaukee Braves, who won the 1957 World
Series and the 1958 N.L. pennant. He subsequently returned to St. Louis in 1961. When his number was
retired, Schoendienst ranked fourth in at-bats (6,841) and pinch hits (53); fifth in games (1,795), runs
(1,025) and hits (1,980); sixth in doubles (352); and seventh in total bases (2,657) on the Cardinals' career
lists. He led the N.L. with 200 hits in 1957, and seven times either led or tied for the N.L. lead in fielding
percentage.
Schoendienst served as a coach on the 1964 World Championship team and was named manager
when Johnny Keane resigned at the conclusion of the season. Schoendienst piloted St. Louis to a World
Series victory in 1967 over the Red Sox and another N.L. pennant in 1968 en route to a 12-year tenure as
skipper, now the second-longest in franchise history behind Tony La Russa.
A 10-time N.L. All-Star, Schoendienst socked a game-winning home run in the 14th inning of the
1950 Mid-Summer Classic off Ted Gray of the Detroit Tigers. It marked the switch-hitter's first career
homer batting right-handed. Schoendienst later managed the Senior Circuit to victories in 1968 and 1969.
After a stint as coach with the Oakland Athletics in 1977 and 1978, Schoendienst came back to St. Louis
as a coach from 1979 to 1995. He filled in as interim manager in 1980 and 1990. Schoendienst was
elected to the Hall of Fame in 1989 by the Veterans Committee.

Simply stated, Stan Musial is "The Man." Not only is he the greatest player in Cardinals' history, he
also is the most popular.
Musial played his entire 22-year career as an outfielder and first baseman in St. Louis. He is the
franchise's career leader in virtually every batting category: games (3,026), at-bats (10,972), runs
(1,949), hits (3,630), doubles (725), triples (177), home runs (475), RBI (1,951), walks (1,599) and total
bases (6,134). His .331 average is fifth behind Rogers Hornsby (.359), Johnny Mize (.336) Joe Medwick
(.335) and Albert Pujols (.331). And, despite being an everyday player most of his career, Musial ranks
seventh with 35 pinch-hits.
After initially joining the Cardinals late in 1941, Musial arrived for good the following season. He
immediately began a stretch of 16 straight years in which he batted .300 or better. In 1943, Musial led the
National League with a .357 average, 220 hits, 48 doubles and 20 triples and earned the first of his three
Most Valuable Player awards. Musial also was named MVP in 1946 (led league with .365 average, 124
runs, 228 hits, 50 doubles and 20 triples) and 1948 (topped N.L. with .376 average, 135 runs, 230 hits,
46 doubles, 18 triples and 131 RBI). All told, the sweet-swinging left-handed batter paced the Senior
Circuit in batting seven times.
A member of three World Championship teams (1942, 1944 and 1946), Musial was chosen to play
in 24 All-Star Games (tied for the most in major league history with Hank Aaron and Willie Mays). His six
home runs are the most in Mid-Summer Classic annals. He won the 1955 game with a 12th-inning homer
off Frank Sullivan of the Boston Red Sox at County Stadium in Milwaukee.
On May 13, 1958, Musial collected the 3,000th hit of his career with a pinch double off Moe
Drabowsky of the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Musial finished his career with 3,630 hits. At the time of
his retirement, he held major league records for extra-base hits and total bases and N.L. marks for runs,
hits, doubles and RBI. He has the fourth-most hits in baseball history - behind Pete Rose (4,256), Ty
Cobb (4,190) and Hank Aaron (3,771).
Musial was the first player in Cardinals' history to have his uniform number retired, and he was a
first-ballot Hall of Fame selection in 1969, being named on 93 percent of the ballots. Musial was a long-
time senior vice-president with the organization and served as general manager in 1967, when the
Cardinals won the World Series over the Boston Red Sox. More than anything else, the personable
Musial has been a great emissary for all that is good about the game of baseball. A bronze statue of
Musial stands outside Busch Stadium on the newly-dedicated Musial Plaza with the following words:
"Here stands baseball's perfect warrior. Here stands baseball's perfect knight." Musial was chosen in
2010 by President Barack Obama to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom - the highest civilian honor for
a United States citizen.

He didn't have the nickname, but Enos Slaughter was a genuine "Charlie Hustle." Throughout his
career, he was known for his all-out style of play.
Slaughter dashed into baseball immortality in Game 7 of the 1946 World Series against the Boston
Red Sox. With the scored tied 3-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Slaughter led off with a single. He
remained there as the next two batters were retired and then took off to steal second base with left fielder
Harry Walker at the plate. Walker stroked a double into center field, and Boston's Leon Culberson threw
the ball to shortstop Johnny Pesky. While Pesky hesitated on the relay, Slaughter kept on running,
ignoring third base coach Mike Gonzalez's stop sign and scoring what proved to be the series-deciding
run.
Long before his "Mad Dash," Slaughter was a bona fide all-star. He broke into the major leagues with
the Cardinals in 1938 and the next year led the National League with 52 doubles while batting .320. It was
the first of five straight seasons in which Slaughter batted at a .300 clip. In 1942, he had a .318 average -
second in the N.L. to Ernie Lombardi of the Boston Braves at .330 - and league-leading totals of 188 hits
and 17 triples. St. Louis’ outfield cast of Slaughter in right, Terry Moore in center and Stan Musial in left is
regarded as the best in franchise history, and helped lead the Redbirds to the 1942 World Championship
over the New York Yankees.
After a three-year stint in the service, Slaughter returned to the Cardinals in 1946. All he did is top the
league with 130 RBI to go with a .300 average and 18 home runs. In 1950 and 1952, Slaughter drove in
101 runs while hitting fewer than 15 home runs both years.
On April 11, 1954, Slaughter was traded to the Yankees for outfielder Bill Virdon, pitcher Mel Wright
and minor league outfielder Emil Tellinger. Upon being told of the deal, Slaughter sat in front of his locker
and cried. On St. Louis' career lists at the time of his uniform retirement, he ranked second in RBI (1,148);
third in triples (135) and walks (839); fourth in games (1,820), runs (1,071), hits (2,064) and total bases
(3,138); fifth in at-bats (6,775) and doubles (366); and 11th in home runs (146). He batted .300 in eight of
his 13 seasons with the Cardinals.
Slaughter subsequently played for the Kansas City Athletics (1955-56) before returning to the
Yankees (1956-59) and finishing his career with the Milwaukee Braves (1959). The Veterans Committee
elected the 10-time All-Star, who was nicknamed "Country," into the Hall of Fame in 1985.

Since 1900, only one player in Cardinals' history has hit for the cycle on two occasions. It's Ken
Boyer, who accomplished the feat Sept. 14, 1961, against the Chicago Cubs and June 16, 1964, against
the Houston Colt .45s.
Boyer was a solid all-around third baseman. He hit for average and power and earned five Gold
Glove awards for his fielding prowess. From 1958 to 1963, he averaged 26 home runs and 98 RBI to go
with a .304 batting average. Then in 1964, Boyer was named the National League Most Valuable Player
after batting .295 with 24 homers and a league-leading 119 RBI. In the World Series against the New York
Yankees, Boyer clubbed a grand slam in Game 4 to give the Cardinals a 4-3 victory, and he contributed
three hits and three runs to help St. Louis win the seventh and deciding game by the score of 7-5.
An N.L. All-Star in 1956 and from 1959 to 1964, Boyer hit a two-run homer in the second 1960 game
at Yankee Stadium and a solo blast in the 1964 contest at Shea Stadium. He was a .348 batter (8-for-23)
in the Mid-Summer Classic.
"The Captain" was traded to the New York Mets on Oct. 20, 1965, in exchange for pitcher Al Jackson
and third baseman Charley Smith. On the Cardinals' career lists upon his number retirement, Boyer
ranked third in home runs (255); fifth in RBI (1,001) and total bases (3,011); sixth in at-bats (6,334); and
seventh in games (1,667), runs (988) and hits (1,855) and ninth in walks (631). His seven grand slams are
tied for the third most in club history behind Stan Musial's nine and Albert Pujols’ 11.
Being a native Missourian, Boyer was always a Cardinal at heart. He returned to the organization as
a minor league manager in 1970 and again from 1973 to 1976 and served as a major league coach in
1971 and 1972. He replaced Vern Rapp as manager of the big league club April 29, 1978, and piloted the
Cardinals to an 86-76 record and third-place finish in the N.L. East Division the following year. But in
1980, with expectations high, the Cardinals never got untracked, and Boyer was dismissed June 8 after a
6-4 loss in the first game of a double-header against the Montreal Expos dropped their record to 18-33.
Boyer was diagnosed with lung cancer in the early 1980s, and the disease ultimately took his life in
1982 at just 51 years of age

Dizzy Dean was the prototypical member of the "Gas House Gang." The right-handed pitcher was
one of baseball's zaniest characters. He also was a warrior and a winner.
After a cup of coffee with the Cardinals in 1930, Dean became a mainstay two years later. He put
together his best season in 1934, going 30-7 with a 2.66 ERA and 195 strikeouts. Dean led the National
League in wins and strikeouts and ranked second in ERA en route to being named the Most Valuable
Player. He is the only pitcher in Cardinals' post-1900 history to win 30 games and the last N.L. hurler to
accomplish the feat. St. Louis won the World Series that year over the Detroit Tigers four games to three,
with Dean and his brother, Paul, accounting for all four victories. Dizzy fired a six-hit shutout to win Game
7 by the score of 11-0.
Dean, who led the league with 28 wins in 1935, was selected to four consecutive All-Star Games
from 1934 to 1937. He was the winning pitcher in 1936 and the loser in 1937. But Dean lost more than the
game in 1937. A line drive off the bat of Cleveland Indians' outfielder Earl Averill in the third inning broke
one of Dean's toes. Dean refused to take time off to let the injury heal, and he began utilizing an unnatural
pitching delivery that led to an arm injury from which he never fully recovered.
On April 16, 1938, the Cardinals traded Dean to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for pitchers Clyde
Shoun and Curt Davis, outfielder Tuck Stainback and $185,000. On St. Louis' career lists upon his
number retirement, Dean ranked second in strikeouts (1,095); third in winning percentage (.641); sixth in
wins (134), complete games (141) and shutouts (23); and ninth in innings pitched (1,738).
Dean was known for his fun-loving lifestyle and story telling as much as his success. In a double-
header against the Brooklyn Dodgers at Sportsman's Park on Sept. 21, 1934, Dizzy authored a three-hit
shutout in the opener and Paul followed with a no-hitter. "Gee whiz," Dizzy said afterwards. "If I'd a known
Paul was gonna do it, I'd a thrown one, too."
Following his playing days, Dean was a colorful broadcaster who became an ambassador for
baseball. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1953.

If it's been said once, it's been said a million times. The Cardinals' acquisition of outfielder Lou Brock
from the Chicago Cubs on June 15, 1964, ranks as perhaps the greatest steal in baseball history. St.
Louis traded pitchers Ernie Broglio and Bobby Shantz and outfielder Doug Clemens in exchange for Brock
and pitchers Jack Spring and Paul Toth.
Over the course of his career with the Cardinals, Brock established himself as the most prolific base
stealer in baseball history to that time. His 938 stolen bases stood as the major league record until Rickey
Henderson bettered the mark in 1991. Brock's total remains the National League standard, and he holds
the major league record with 12 seasons of 50 or more steals. Brock led the N.L. in thefts on eight
occasions (1966 to 1969 and 1971 to 1974). He set the season record with 118 in 1974, bettering the
mark of 104 by Maury Wills during the 1962 campaign. In 1978, the N.L. announced that its annual stolen
base leader would receive the Lou Brock Award, making Brock the first active player to have an award
named after him.
But Brock was more than a base burglar. He was a career .293 batter with 3,023 hits. Seven times
he batted at a .300 or better clip. In 1967, Brock slugged 21 home runs and had 76 RBI from the leadoff
spot. He also had 52 stolen bases to become the first player in baseball history with 20 homers and 50
steals. The following year, Brock topped the N.L. in doubles (46), triples (14) and stolen bases (62), the
first player in the Senior Circuit to do so since Honus Wagner of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1908. Brock
joined the 3,000-hit club Aug. 13, 1979, with a fourth-inning single off Dennis Lamp of the Chicago Cubs
at Busch Stadium.
Brock paid immediate dividends in St. Louis, batting .348 for the balance of the 1964 season and
propelling the Cardinals from eighth place in the N.L. to a World Championship over the New York
Yankees. The Cardinals won the World Series again in 1967 over the Boston Red Sox and were N.L.
champions in 1968. Brock was at his best in postseason play. His .391 career batting average (34-for-87)
is a World Series record, while his 14 stolen bases are tied for the most all time with Eddie Collins of the
Philadelphia Athletics and Chicago White Sox.
On the Cardinals' career lists upon his number retirement, Brock ranked first in stolen bases (888 -
Vince Coleman is second with 549); second in games (2,289), at-bats (9,125), runs (1,427), hits (2,713),
doubles (434) and total bases (3,776); fourth in triples (121); sixth in walks (681); and 10th in RBI (814).
He was a six-time N.L. All-Star.
Brock has remained active in baseball since retiring as a player following the 1979 season. He
worked in the Cardinals' broadcast booth from 1981 to 1984; was a baserunning consultant for the
Minnesota Twins in 1987, Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988 and Montreal Expos in 1993; and has served as
a special instructor for the Cardinals (baserunning and outfield play) since 1995. He was a first-ballot Hall
of Fame inductee in 1985.
Fans voted Brock the left fielder on the All-Busch Stadium team, which was announced on Oct. 1,
2005 as part of final weekend festivities at the stadium.

* Split season due to players’ strike. Cardinals finished second in both halves but had best overall record in Eastern Division.
Baseball in St. Louis was reborn in the 1980s under Whitey Herzog.
A native of New Athens, Ill., in the Metro East area of St. Louis, Herzog managed the Cardinals from 1980 to
1990. He ranks third in franchise history with 822 victories – trailing only Tony La Russa (1,318 through 2010) and
Red Schoendienst (1,041) – and his teams won three National League pennants and the 1982 World Series.
Hand-picked by club president August Busch Jr., Herzog took over the Redbirds on June 9, 1980. Two
months later, Herzog turned over his managerial duties to become general manager and have more direct
involvement in player personnel. He assumed the dual role of field manager and general manager in October.
At the winter meetings that December, Herzog began to transform the Cardinals with three blockbuster trades
involving 21 players. He envisioned a team built on speed and defense in spacious Busch Stadium.
St. Louis posted the best record in the N.L. in 1981 but finished second in the Eastern Division in both halves
of the strike-interrupted season and did not make the playoffs. Herzog relinquished his general manager duties on
Opening Day of the 1982 season. The Cardinals went on to win the World Series with a thrilling seven-game victory
over the Milwaukee Brewers. It marked the franchise’s first championship in 15 years.
Two more pennants followed in 1985 and 1987. Meanwhile, fans flocked to Busch Stadium to watch the
Cardinals’ entertaining style of play that became known as “Whiteyball.” In Herzog’s eight full seasons as skipper,
St. Louis drew at least 2.4 million spectators annually while topping the 3-million plateau for the first two times in
club annals (1987 and 1989). Herzog, who valued his sterling relationship with Busch, resigned July 5, 1990, less
than a year after Busch died, and did not manage again.
Before coming to St. Louis, Herzog managed the Texas Rangers (1973), California Angels (1974 on an
interim basis) and Kansas City Royals (1975-79). The Royals won three straight American League Western Division
titles from 1976 to 1978 but fell to the New York Yankees in the League Championship Series all three times.
Herzog’s lifetime managerial record was 1,281-1,125, a .532 winning percentage. His win total ranks 32nd
on baseball’s all-time list through 2010. He was named the 1982 Major League Manger of the Year and 1985 N.L.
Manager of the Year. The charismatic “White Rat” also spent time as a big league coach, farm system director
and scout and briefly served as general manager of the Angels in 1993 and 1994.
Primarily an outfielder during an eight-year big-league playing career, Herzog batted .257 with 25 home runs
and 172 RBI for the Washington Senators (1956-58), Kansas City Athletics (1958-60), Baltimore Orioles (1961-
62) and Detroit Tigers (1963).
As a minor leaguer with the McAlester (Okla.) Rockets in 1949, Herzog was christened with the name “Whitey”
by sportscaster Bill Speith for his light-colored hair.
Herzog was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2010 by the Veterans Committee. Two days before the enshrinement
ceremonies July 25, Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. announced that Herzog’s number 24 would be retired by
the organization. Herzog wore No. 3 in 1980, but infielder Ken Oberkfell gave up No. 24 after the season and
Herzog took it.

note: No. 42 was retired throughout Major League Baseballin 1997 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of JackieRobinson breaking the big league’s color barrier.
Bruce Sutter was a pioneer whose journey landed him in Cooperstown.
The right-handed lights-out closer, who made famous the split-fingered fastball, was elected to the Hall of
Fame in 2006. He became the fourth reliever enshrined into baseball’s hallowed ground, following Hoyt Wilhelm
(1985), Rollie Fingers (1992) and Dennis Eckersley (2004). Sutter was the first player never to start to a game to
be selected.
Sutter pitched for the Cardinals from 1981 to 1984. Acquired from the Chicago Cubs on Dec. 9, 1980, in
exchange for first baseman Leon Durham, third baseman Ken Reitz and minor-league third baseman Ty Waller,
Sutter proved to be a key acquisition for general manager and manager Whitey Herzog in his transformation of
the Cardinals from underachievers to World Champions.
During the strike-shortened 1981 season, Sutter saved 25 games – the most by a St. Louis pitcher since the
save became an officially recognized statistic in 1969 – with chants of “Bruuuuuce!” bellowing throughout Busch
Stadium every time he ran in from the bullpen. Sutter recorded 36 saves in 1982 and struck of Gorman Thomas of
the Milwaukee Brewers to wrap up Game 7 of the World Series.
Sutter had 45 saves in 1985 to tie the Major League record – set by Dan Quisenberry of the Kansas City
Royals two years earlier – that since has been eclipsed. The Cardinals elected not to re-sign Sutter after that
season, and he moved on to the Atlanta Braves. He subsequently was hampered by shoulder problems that led
to his retirement following the 1988 campaign at the age of 35.
Struggling in the minor leagues with Class-A Quincy (Ill.) in 1973, Sutter learned the revolutionary split-fingered
pitch from former Cardinals’ right-hander Fred Martin, then a Chicago minor-league pitching coach. The pitch, an
offshoot of the forkball that Sutter was suited to throw because of his long fingers, aptly was described as “a fastball
that winds up like a dead fish” because of its wicked forward spin.
By 1976, Sutter was in the big leagues with the Cubs. He won the 1979 N.L. Cy Young Award after amassing
37 saves and a 2.22 ERA with 110 strikeouts in 101.3 innings pitched. He was only the third reliever to be so
honored, following Mark Marshall of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1974 and Sparky Lyle of the New York Yankees
in 1977.
In 12 major-league seasons, Sutter totaled 300 saves to rank third on baseball’s all-time list at the time of his
retirement and 20th through 2006. He worked more than one inning for 188 of his rescues and surpassed 100
innings pitched in a season on five occasions, with one more year at 99. Sutter led the Senior Circuit in saves in
1979, 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1984. He was a six-time All-Star – appearing in four games and earning two wins
(1978 and 1979) and two saves (1980 and 1981) while not allowing a run – and received the Rolaids Relief Man
Award four times.
Sutter’s four-year St. Louis save total of 127 established a franchise record and now ranks fourth behind

Bob Gibson ranks as the greatest pitcher in Cardinals' history. A glance at the record book supports
the claim. On the franchise's career lists, the right-hander is first in wins (251), complete games (255),
shutouts (56), innings pitched (3,885.1) and strikeouts (3,117). He is second in games pitched (528) and
tied for 10th in ERA (2.91).
An outstanding athlete, Gibson played with the Harlem Globetrotters before arriving in St. Louis to
stay in 1961. Three years later, he posted a 19-12 record with a 3.01 ERA in helping the Cardinals win the
National League pennant. After losing Game 2 of the World Series to the New York Yankees, Gibson
posted complete-game victories in Game 5 (5-2 in 10 innings) and Game 7 (7-5) and earned Series Most
Valuable Player honors.
Gibson was on his way to another banner season in 1967 when a line drive off the bat of Pittsburgh
Pirates' outfielder Roberto Clemente broke Gibson's right leg July 15. He was sidelined 52 days but
returned to pitch the N.L. pennant clincher against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sept. 18 and then go 3-0
with a 1.00 ERA, three complete games and 26 strikeouts in the Cardinals' World Series victory over the
Boston Red Sox.
The postseason dominance was an indicator of things to come. In 1968, Gibson authored the
greatest season by a pitcher in modern history. His 1.12 ERA established an all-time record for 300 or
more innings. Gibson posted a 22-9 record with league-leading totals of 13 shutouts and 268 strikeouts.
During one stretch, he surrendered two earned runs over 95 innings. Gibson was named the N.L. Cy
Young Award winner and MVP. For an encore, Gibson set a record with 17 strikeouts in Game 1 of the
World Series against the Detroit Tigers (a 4-0 victory). He pitched two more complete games (winning
Game 4 by the score of 10-1 before losing Game 7 by a 4-1 margin) to run his streak to a record eight
straight complete-game starts in Series play. Gibson, the series MVP, totaled 35 strikeouts in the three
games to establish a Fall Classic standard.
Gibson won his second Cy Young Award in 1970 on the strength of a 23-7 record and 3.12 ERA. He
fired a no-hitter against Pittsburgh on Aug. 14, 1971, winning 11-0 at Three Rivers Stadium, and became
the second pitcher in baseball history to record 3,000 career strikeouts July 17, 1974 (following Walter
Johnson of the Washington Senators).
Accompanying his blazing fastball and pinpoint control was an intense demeanor. Gibson was a
complete pitcher, clouting 24 home runs and winning nine Gold Gloves. The nine-time N.L. All-Star was
inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1981, his first year of eligibility. "Gibby" served as pitching coach for the
New York Mets (1981) and Atlanta Braves (1982-84) and bullpen coach for St. Louis (1995). He also has
done some broadcasting and has been a special instructor for the Cardinals since 1996.
Fans voted Gibson the starting pitcher on the All-Busch Stadium team, which was announced on Oct.
1, 2005, as part of final weekend festivities at the stadium.

Since 1900, only two players have batted .400 on three occasions – Ty Cobb and Rogers Hornsby.
Only two playes have won multiple Triple Crowns – Ted Williams and Hornsby.
Hornsby, primarily a second baseman during his 23-year career, batted .401 in 1922, .403 in 1925
and .424 (a modern-day record) in 1924. He is the lone player in Cardinals’ history to reach the coveted
plateau. Hornsby led the National League in batting six consecutive seasons from 1920 to 1925, compiling
a .397 average during that span. From 1921 to 1925, his average was .402, making him the only player
ever to bat .400 over a five-year period.
Arguably the greatest right-handed batter of all time, Hornsby won the Triple Crown in 1922 and
1925. The first time, he batted .401 with 42 home runs (then an N.L. record) and 152 RBI while setting
club records that still stand of 141 runs, 250 hits, 450 total bases, a .756 slugging percentage and a 33-
game hitting streak. The second time, Hornsby had a .403 average with 39 homers and 139 RBI en route
to being named the N.L. Most Valuable Player.
"The Rajah" spent the first 12 years of his career in St. Louis, leading the league in slugging
percentage seven times; total bases six times; hits, doubles and RBI four times; runs three times; triples
and home runs twice; and walks once. He was well known for refusing to go to movies because he
thought the "strain" of watching the screen in darkness would hinder his eyesight.
On May 31, 1925, Hornsby took over as manager of the Cardinals, as well, replacing Branch Rickey.
Hornsby continued in the dual role in 1926 and piloted the club to an 89-65 record and its first-ever World
Championship, a seven-game victory over the New York Yankees.
An outspoken individual, Hornsby at times was critical of owner Sam Breadon. Eventually, Breadon
had enough, and on Dec. 20, 1926, Hornsby was traded to the New York Giants for infielder Frankie
Frisch (who had had a falling out with his manager, John McGraw) and pitcher Jimmy Ring.
Hornsby subsequently played for and managed the Boston Braves (1928) and Chicago Cubs (1929-
32), winning a second MVP Award in 1929, before returning to the Cardinals in 1933. His second stint,
however, lasted just three months before Hornsby was released to become manager of the cross-town
Browns. He remained in the Browns’ dugout until midway through the 1937 season. Hornsby returned to
manage the Browns for the first two months of the 1952 campaign before moving on to the Cincinnati
Reds for roughly a season and a half.
On the Cardinals’ career lists upon his number retirement, Hornsby ranked first in batting average
(.359); second in triples (143); third in runs (1,089), hits (2,110) and total bases (3,342); fourth in doubles
(367) and RBI (1,072); seventh in home runs (193); seventh in walks (660); eighth in at-bats (5,881); and
ninth in games (1,580). He played 997 games at second base, the fourth-most in franchise history.
Hornsby, whose lifetime batting average of .358 is the highest of any right-handed batter and second
only to Cobb’s .366 among all players, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1942.

He never swung a bat or thew a pitch. Yet, Jack Buck ranks as one of the most popular individuals
ever associated with the Cardinals - perhaps the most popular.
Buck served as the "Voice of the Cardinals" on KMOX radio from 1954 to 2001. He was behind the
microphone for some of the franchise's most-memorable moments: Bob Gibson's no-hitter in 1971, Lou
Brock's 105th stolen base in 1974 and Mark McGwire's 61st home run in 1998. And his legendary call of
Ozzie Smith's game-winning home run in Game 5 of the 1985 National League Championship Series
against the Los Angeles Dodgers, when Buck told St. Louis fans to "Go crazy, folks! Go crazy," still sends
chills up Cardinals' fans spines every time it is replayed.
Through it all, Buck's signature phrase after every Cardinals' victory was "That's a winner," and those
words are printed on Buck's retired number pennant.
From 1954 to 1969, Buck worked along side another legend, Harry Caray, to form what is widely
regarded as the best baseball broadcast duo ever assembled. From 1972 to 2001, Buck teamed with
former Cards' third baseman Mike Shannon, and the pair became as synonymous with St. Louis baseball
as Stan Musial and Bob Gibson. Beginning in 1991, Buck had the privilege of calling games with his son
Joe, who now is the lead baseball and football announcer for FOX Sports television.
Buck was inducted into the broadcaster's wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1987. He was honored
with a statue outside the Cardinals' executive offices at Busch Stadium in 1998.
There was more to Buck than Cardinals' baseball. He broadcast several World Series for CBS Radio.
His most-famous non-St. Louis call came in Game 1 of the 1988 Fall Classic when an injured Kirk Gibson
hit a game-winning pinch-hit homer for the Dodgers against the Oakland Athletics. "Unbelievable!" Buck
exclaimed. "I don't believe what I just saw." Buck was CBS-TV's lead play-by-play announcer in 1990 and
1991, and he also worked for ABC and NBC.
Buck enjoyed a distinguished football broadcasting career, as well. He called one of the most famous
games ever, the 1967 Ice Bowl between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers, for CBS, and he
was the radio voice of Monday Night Football for CBS from 1978 to 1996, working with former NFL head
coach Hank Stram. Buck, whose total of 17 Super Bowl broadcasts is the most of any announcer,
received the Pete Rozelle Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1996.
In addition, Buck announced basketball and hockey over the course of his career and also worked
with Chris Schenkel on the Pro Bowler's Tour. Outside of sports, he served as the original host of "At Your
Service" on KMOX, a program that essentially started the phenomenon of talk radio.
Buck's popularity extends well beyond his trademark gravely voice. Fans from coast to coast, but
particularly those in St. Louis, knew him as a tremendously generous man who made time for everyone.
He was named St. Louis' Citizen of the Year in 2000 for his contributions to the community.
When Buck passed away in June 2002, some 10,000 fans attended his public memorial service at
Busch Stadium.
August A. Busch Jr.'s reign as president of the Cardinals was marked by success on and off the field.
Between 1953 and 1989, the Cardinals won three World Championships (1964, 1967 and 1982) and three
additional National League pennants (1968, 1985 and 1987). They also forged the reputation of having the
classiest organization in Major League Baseball.
Busch purchased the franchise from Fred Saigh on Feb. 20, 1953. Busch was president of Anheuser-
Busch brewery, which benefited from the acquisition of the ball club. Although he didn't devote a
tremendous amount of time to baseball-related matters early on, by the 1960s, Busch had grown tired of
the Cardinals routinely finishing no higher than the middle of the pack in the N.L.
After winning the 1964 World Series over the New York Yankees, Busch was instrumental in the
building of "new" Busch Stadium. The $26 million ballpark opened May 12, 1966, with a 4-3 victory over
the Atlanta Braves in 12 innings and became the foundation of a rejuvenated downtown. In 1967, the
Cardinals surpassed 2,000,000 in home attendance for the first time in franchise history.
Busch retired as leader of the brewery in 1975, handing over control to his son, August III. The
Cardinals failed to win during the decade of the 1970s, leaving Busch anxious to return to prominence. He
made arguably his best baseball decision June 9, 1980, when he hired Whitey Herzog as manager. Busch
and Herzog enjoyed a sterling relationship that played a major role in the Cardinals' renewed success.
Home attendance soared, with the club drawing 3,000,000-plus fans in both 1987 and 1989.
Throughout his ownership of the Cardinals, "Gussie" was one of the City of St. Louis' most popular
citizens. He was a regular at home games, and on special occasions would ride around the stadium atop
a Budweiser wagon pulled by a team of signature Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales.
The Cardinals retired the number 85 in Busch's honor in conjunction with his 85th birthday in 1984.
He died Sept. 29, 1989, at the age of 90. August III subsequently served as chief executive until
Anheuser-Busch sold the club to the current ownership group March 21, 1996.

kMox Radio returns as the Voice of the Cardinals over the air-waves after a five-year hiatus. The station’s 50,000-watt signal at night canreach more than 40 states and parts of Canada. The station carried Cardinals games for 52 years through 2005. The club boasts a radionetwork of 117 stations covering nine states (Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee). KMOXwill broadcast all 162 of the 2011 games and Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday spring training games. Mike Shannon and partnerJohn Rooney will continue to provide play-by-play commentary.
MIkE ShAnnon Mike Shannon will be broadcasting his 40th season on the Cardinals radio network. Throughout his
years as a broadcastor for the Cardinals, Shannon has also made appearances for the Cardinals televisionbroadcasts, including as a pre-game analyst for FSN Midwest. He also has worked with NBC’s BaseballGame of the Week and called Cardinals football games on radio.
A St. Louis native, Shannon broke into the big leagues with the Cardinals in 1962 and became theCardinals regular right fielder during the 1964 World Championship season. During the 1964 Series openervs. New York, he hit a game-tying, two-run homer off Whitey Ford as St. Louis went on to defeat the Yankeesin seven games. In 1967 Shannon was moved to third base to make room for newly acquired right fielder RogerMaris, as the Cardinals went on to win two straight National League pennants in 1967 and ‘68 as well as the1967 World Series. His home run off Boston's Gary Bell was the key blow in Game 3 of the 1967 Series and
his solo shot in Game 7 of the 1968 Series was the Cardinals only run off Mickey Lolich as the Tigers clinched the Series. Mike’s career was cut short by nephritis, a kidney disease, in 1970. He joined the Cardinals front office in 1971 as assistant director
of promotions and sales and entered the broadcast booth in 1972, where he has remained. His many years with the organization give Shannona unique insight in his commentary. He was honored at the end of the 2007 season for his 50 years of service with the club.
He has received numerous awards and honors throughout his career. A gifted athlete, he was a High School All-American footballplayer, and in 1957 was named the Missouri prep Player of the Year in both basketball and football - the only player ever to receive bothin the same year. He was named St. Louis Ambassador’s 1993 Sportsman of the Year, St. Louis Variety Club 1996 Champion for Kidsand received the 1985 Emmy Award for Sports Broadcasting, St. Louis chapter. In 1999, Shannon was inducted into the Missouri SportsHall of Fame in recognition of his popularity and performance on the air and as a player on the field, and in November 2009 was selectedto be a member of the Academy of Missouri Squires. In September 2010, Shannon was honored as St. Louis Press Club Media Personof the Year.
Mike, 71, resides in Illinois. He, and his late wife, Judy, have six children, 18 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

a Richmond, Mo. native, came to St. Louis from the Chicago White Sox where he spent 18 years (1988-2005)- one in TV and 17 seasons following in the radio booth. The Cardinals World Championship crown in 2006gave John the privalege of working with the World Champion team in back-to-back seasons, following the WhiteSox win in 2005.
Rooney, 56, called his first major league game in 1983 with Shannon and Hall of Fame Broadcaster JackBuck during a three-game series between the Cardinals and host Cincinnati Reds. He began his baseballbroadcasting career at the class AAA level, spending the 1981-82 seasons with the Oklahoma 89ers and the1983-84 campaigns with the Louisville Redbirds.
