Tom Pagnozzi Enters Missouri Hall Of Fame

Tom Pagnozzi – Catcher, St. Louis Cardinals After debuting in 1987, Tom Pagnozzi impressed Cardinals manager Joe Torre enough that by 1990 he was named the Cardinals every day catcher. Pagnozzi remained at the position until 1996. While “Pags” had moderate power and was considered an RBI threat, he was primarily regarded for his defense, for which he won gold gloves in 1991, 1992, and 1994. Pagnozzi also made the National League All-Star team in 1992. Pagnozzi retired in 1998 at the age of 36 with a career batting average of .253, with 44 home runs and 320 runs batted in.
