St. Louis Cardinals

Bat-and-Ball Sports

The St. Louis Cardinals are an American professional baseball team based in St. Louis. They compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the National League Central Division and have played at Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis since the 2006 season. One of the oldest and most successful professional baseball clubs in the country, they have won 11 World Series championships, the most of any National League team, and 19 National League pennants. The club traces its origins to 1881, when Chris von der Ahe bought a barnstorming club, renamed it the St. Louis Browns and made it a charter member of the American Association. The team joined the National League in 1892 and became the Cardinals in 1900.
