The Cardinals Exemplary 2009 Draft Class: An Oral History

The 2013 St. Louis Cardinals won 97 games during the regular season, then eliminated the Pirates and Dodgers before finally losing to the Red Sox in a six-game World Series. It was a tremendous season, capped by the franchise’s 19th National League pennant. And perhaps the most amazing thing about that season is this: Five of the Cardinals' best players were drafted just four years earlier — three of those players drafted well after the top prospects were off the board. Overall, seven players from the Cardinals' 2009 draft class have reached the majors, leading MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo to anoint the class as the best of the last 10 years: that is, No. 1 of 300 drafts.
