He Was The Cardinals' Best Utility Player Of All Time

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 put together a performance that was entertaining and admirable.

Cardinals Introduce Paul Goldschmidt

He was a high schooler then, standing alongside some buddies in center field as the city of Houston simmered toward an eruption. Paul Goldschmidt's beloved Houston Astros were one out away from advancing to the World Series for the first time.

Yadier Molina Reclaims Crown With Ninth Gold Glove

Already one of the most decorated defenders at the catching position in Major League history, Yadier Molina added a ninth Gold Glove award to his collection on Sunday by beating out fellow National League finalists Manny Pina and Buster Posey.
St. Louis Official Site

To have two Gold Glove candidates was a coup for the Cardinals because in 2018 they had the most errors (133) in the majors, by 12, and also the lowest fielding percentage, .978. Eight-time winner Yadier Molina was a candidate at catcher and second baseman Kolten Wong was a first-time aspirant.
Post-Dispatch

The Cardinals have a rich history of Rawlings Gold Glove winners since the award was started in 1957. Ozzie Smith (13), Bob Gibson (nine), Curt Flood (seven) Bill White (six), Ken Boyer (five), Jim Edmonds (five) and Keith Hernandez (five) all have won a handful as Cardinals. Now, Hall of Famer Gibson has company at nine as catcher Yadier Molina, who made his ninth National League All-Star team this season, also has won his ninth Gold Glove.
Cardinal Beat

For the first time since the 2015 season, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is a Rawlings Gold Glove winner! The winners for both the National and American League Gold Gloves were announced on Sunday night. The award is the ninth in Molina’s storied career. Yadi has long been known for his
defensive prowess and has been recognized again.
