We certainly could have made a case for Len Dawson at the top of this list.  There is also merit to stating that Dawson was the greatest Quarterback in the AFL throughout the 1960’s.

The Kansas City Chiefs have had their share of great players on the Offensive Line, but there is one who stands above the rest; Will Shields.

We return back to the Cardinals’ famed Gashouse Gang where we have Ripper Collins who was a rookie in their World Series Championship win in 1931.  He would become a starter the season after and he would be a quick fan favorite with his nickname of Ripper and his power despite having a small frame.  Collins would have his best season in 1934 (where he also helped the Cards win the World Series where he was the National League leader in Home Runs (35), Slugging Percentage (.615) and OPS (1.008) with a sixth place finish in MVP voting.  He was named an All Star the next two seasons and would be traded to he Chicago Cubs after the 1936 season.

Bob Forsch is the only Pitcher in Cardinals history to pitch two no-hitters for the team and he is one of the most tenured hurlers for the team with nearly 20 years of service since he was drafted.  Forsch was a late round pick in 1968 and would finally crack the roster in 1974 and in 1977 he had his best season with a 20 and 7 record and his 163 Wins are third all-time in St. Louis history..  He would lead the NL in BB/9 the next season and was a member of the Cardinals 1982 World Series win, though he went 0-2 in that year’s Fall Classic.  Forsch was also a two time Silver Slugger winner with a .215 Batting Average with 12 Home Runs as a Cardinal.
