The St. Louis Cardinals had the best record of the regular season last year. Their record was 100 and 62. That is a winning percentage of .617. The St. Louis Cardinals are members of the National League Central Division. Other team that are in the division are the Reds, Brewers, Cubs, and Pirates. The St. Louis Cardinals finish first in their division by only a small margin of two games. This means that the St. Louis Cardinals made it to the play-offs. However the St. Louis Cardinals did not make it to the World Series. The St. Louis Cardinals have won 11 World Series. The most recent one was in 2011. That year they had to beat the Rangers. It took all 7 games for the St. Louis Cardinals to win it all. The St. Louis Cardinals play in one of the newer stadiums in the MLB. The name is Busch Stadium. The St. Louis Cardinals were established in 1882. They have been around forever. However they have had many different names. Their first name was the Brown Stockings and then they were the Browns and their third name was the Perfectos. This is one of the few fact that I didn’t know about Major League Baseball. One of the main reason the St. Louis Cardinals are so good is their catcher. His name is Yadier Molina. Many people argue that he is the best catcher in the MLB. I agree, but I think he is starting to slow down. He is getting too old to be a MLB catcher. I hope he doesn’t retire because I enjoy watching him catch. Younger players, especially catcher, can learn a lot from him. I think he is one of the people who will end up coaching one day. I also think that the St. Louis Cardinals will have a very very good team this year. I can see them winning 95 games and possibly winning their 12th World Series.
