One Guy You Forgot Was Ever On Your Favorite Team

You remember them, just not some of the teams they played for. There are numerous players throughout baseball history who we remember for their prime years, and we usually associate them with one specific team. But in many cases, those stars finished their careers or spent some other part of their time in the Majors with another club, one that we may have forgotten. So here's a look at some players who fall into that category for each club.

Last Call For Gerry Davis

If and when the baseball season starts, the countdown to 43 will begin for veteran umpire Gerry Davis — a Roosevelt High grad and former bartender at Thurmer’s, a fine, but bygone, south St. Louis saloon. Counting postseason games, Davis, a big-league umpire for 39 years, has worked 4,957 games. He would be the fourth to 5,000, behind Hall of Famer Bill Klem, still active Joe West and Bruce Froemming.

Dinner With Ken Oberkfell

A few months ago, I had the opportunity of a lifetime. Through purchasing an experience in a silent auction, my dad, brother, and I got to eat dinner and talk with Ken Oberkfell for a few hours. In honor of ’80s week, I thought I’d share my experience with the former St. Louis Cardinals second baseman.

Can Cardinals Rally From 0-3? It's Not Impossible

On Monday night, the St. Louis Cardinals lost, 8-1, to the Washington Nationals in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. It was, to put it mildly, a feeble effort. The Cardinals have been outscored in the series 13-2, they are slugging .143 for the series (roughly the equivalent of an American League pitcher) and they have a strikeout-walk ratio of 34:3. Their ace was on the mound for Game 3, their No. 1 and 2 hitters are a combined 0-for-21 and they have one RBI for the series (on a ball that should have been caught). This is not going well. This series feels over.

Adam Wainwright Adds To His Postseason Legend

In a postseason already filled with great pitching performances, Adam Wainwright’s gem on Sunday afternoon was likely one of the most unexpected. He held the Braves scoreless over seven and two-thirds innings, allowing just six baserunners while striking out eight. If Carlos Martínez had been able to hold onto the slim margin he was handed in the ninth, the headline would have certainly featured the 38-year-old’s gutsy outing. But this latest start was just one more milestone in a career filled with postseason heroics.

We Don't Fully Appreciate Max Scherzer

Two of the greatest pitchers anyone alive has ever seen are Greg Maddux and Pedro Martínez. While they both won every team and individual honor that baseball can bestow, I can’t help but feel a little bit sorry for them. As transcendent as they were in the 90s, they picked the worst possible times to peak.
