Sandy Koufax vs. Bob Gibson. Tom Seaver vs. Steve Carlton. Roger Clemens vs. Pedro Martinez.

What I Miss About Sports Today - References To Cardinals History During Games

I miss the daily doses of nostalgia. They were reliable and refreshing. Watching a game, listening to a game, going to game, covering a game, every experience includes little links to St. Louis’ past. Casual references to players who once played. Instant analysis of a play by comparing it to a famous play. Looking at looks – from locks to socks – that remind us of how previous Cardinals looked.

Here's The All-Time Best MVP At Each Position

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig played in one distinct era, Albert Pujols and Mike Trout in another. Ruth never faced Aroldis Chapman’s 101 mph heat. Gehrig never got a crack at Pedro Martinez’s changeup. We love baseball’s timelessness, but so much has changed over the last 125 years.

All-Time Lineup Of Cardinals Champions

Any excavation, archaeological or anecdotal, into the rich layers of highlights from Cardinals history will quickly reveal a conundrum: The greatest individual seasons had by a Cardinal – truly some of the greatest ever had in baseball – rarely result in a championship finish for the Cardinals.
