To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball.  With a little more than a month until regular season baseball, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cardinals began life in 1891, joining the National League the following year after the dissolution of the old American Association.  They took on the Cardinal name starting in 1900 and have been a longtime rival of the Cubs.  I’ve seen 196 players don the Cardinal uniforms in them play 37 games, first in 2000 at Wrigley Field and most recently in a double header sweep against the White Sox last June.
