Our All-Time Top 50 St. Louis Cardinals Have Been Revised to Reflect the 2023 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out, and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 St. Louis Cardinals.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, St. Louis had a very disappointing season, and were nowhere close to the playoffs. Regardless, there was one new entrant and one change.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:
1. Stan Musial
4. Bob Gibson
5. Ozzie Smith
You can find the entire list here.
Adam Wainwright reached 200 Wins last year, but bluntly, he was not very good. He had an ERA near 8 and a bWAR of -2.0. As such, he dropped a spot, going from #10 to #11.
The only new entrant was Paul Goldschmidt. The 2022 National League MVP debuts at #46.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
