The St. Louis Cardinals are a Major League Baseball team based in St. Louis, Missouri. They are in the Central Division of the National League. Founded: 1882 as a charter member of the American Association. When the American Association folded after the 1891 season, the National League tendered membership rights in 1892. For much of the last half of the 20th century, the legendary broadcaster, Jack Buck, was the voice of the Cardinals, calling play-by-play on St. Louis' KMOX radio. His son Joe Buck took over for Jack as the radio and television announcer for the Cardinals in 1991. Between 1960 and 1987, St. Louis was home to two big-league Cardinals teams, baseball and football. Sports fans and local news coverage got into the habit of saying "the Baseball Cardinals" or "the Football Cardinals" to distinguish the two. Locals also got into the habit of using "Redbirds" to refer specifically to the baseball team. Over the years, Cardinal fans have gained the reputation as being the best and most knowledgable in the game, according to Peter Gammons and other experts, and St. Louis has been deemed "Baseball City, USA". Players have been known to tell other players that they have not played baseball until they have played baseball in St. Louis. The atmosphere is so addictive that several players have accepted a lower salary, a "home team discount", to remain on the Cardinals, most notably Mark McGwire, Jim Edmonds and Albert Pujols. St. Louis has two rivalries that draw near sell-outs on a regular basis. The well-known Cardinals-Cubs rivalry, sometimes referred to as the I-55 Series; and the more recent Cardinals-Royals rivalry, also known as the I-70 Series. The Cardinals are second only to the New York Yankees in the number of World Series championships won. The Cardinals are the only one of the eight oldest National League teams to hold an edge over the Yankees in Series play, 3 to 2. In 2005, the Cardinals played their final season in Busch Stadium. In 2006, they won the World Series in their new ballpark. St. Louis Cardinals, Baseball Infield
