About the St. Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals have a long and storied history of winning, with a total of 10 World Series Championships, ranked 2nd in Major League Baseball in titles only behind the 26 of the New York Yankees. For over 100 years, St. Louis fans have been recognized around the league as among the best in sports, cheering their teams to victory and encouraging the team in defeat. Getting St. Louis Cardinals tickets is a family tradition for their fans, and the players are part of their family.

Joining the National League in 1892, the St. Louis Cardinals began playing baseball under the moniker of the Browns, and for one year the Perfectos. They made the name change in 1900, but it wasn't until the 1920's that the St. Louis Cardinals started to ascend to the championship level. In 1926, they won their first World Series Championship when they defeated the New York Yankees in seven games. They went on to win two more titles in the next ten years, in 1931 and 1934.

1941 was the beginning of an era for the St. Louis Cardinals, as outfielder Stan Musial joined the team. In only his second year in the league, Musial won his first of three Most Valuable Player awards. He helped St. Louis Cardinals ticket holders enjoy three World Series titles in his 22 seasons and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.

Stan Musial is arguably the greatest St. Louis Cardinals player, but he is just one of the greats who put on the Cardinal red. The St. Louis Cardinals have retired the numbers of twelve different Cardinals, including Bob Gibson (#45, two time Cy Young Award winner), Lou Brock (#20, six time All Star) and Dizzy Dean (#17, 1934 MVP). Also among those retired greats is the Wizard of Oz, Ozzie Smith, who is considered the greatest defensive shortstop in baseball history. His trademark flips as the team took the field are still played on highlight reels in front of thousands of fans with St. Louis Cardinals tickets and will be for years to come.
