  • The Crack of a Fungo Bat

    During the spring of 96, on a Saturday morning much like today (maybe a bit warmer) it was the crack of a fungo bat that set off a series of events I’ll never forget. There was snow on the ground, but most of it had melted away. We were behind Armstrong High School taking fly…

  • Frank Jobe

    He didn’t get the surgery named after him (the player he operated on did), but a true pioneer in medicine. In the words of Orel Hershiser, Dr. Frank Jobe “may have touched more wins and saves than anyone in baseball.” He’s saved multiple St. Louis Cardinal pitchers, Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright, just to name…

  • Baseball Playing Marines

    Yeah, you know, just playing baseball in Afghanistan. In the desert! Post by MLB FanCave.

  • Jon Jay’s Role

    I was wondering why everyone assumed Bourjos was the automatic starter in the first place. And Tavares? The kid hasn’t played a lick at this level yet. AND, both these guys coming off of not exactly minor injuries. Any Cards fan remembers how long JD Drew took to “get right” from his wrist injury and…

  • Proud of my St. Louis Cardinals

    I’m damn proud of my St. Louis Cardinals. We have been truly spoiled by the last 3 years of baseball. Obviously, we want to win the World Series every year, but losing to the last 2 World Series Champions in a deep series is still a hell of a journey. Saying you’d rather not go…

  • Rogers Hornsby

    Rogers Hornsby

    Pretty cool picture of Rogers Hornsby looking like a badass. Channeling all the old Cardinals greats to get this World Series turned around! The other time the Cardinals won the World Series being down 3-2 and headed on the road was 1926 when Rogers Hornsby (pictured here) played. They came back to beat the Yankees…

  • Just let that sink in

    For all of you out there cheering against the Cardinals. The joke is on you. You’re only interest in the World Series comes when the Cardinals make it in, not your team. Yeah, just let that sink in for a minute.

  • They GONE!

    They GONE! Go CARDS! In case you didn’t know…‪#‎WeOwnOctober‬ GREAT series by the Bucs. That’s a DAMN good ball team right there. Lot’s of good rivalry years ahead.
