Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually. We are pleased to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 St. Louis Cardinals.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Duration and Impact.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.
3. Advanced Statistics.
4. Playoff performance.
5. Their respective legacy on the team.
6. How successful the team was when he was there.
7. Respecting the era in which they played.
Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm. Please note that we have implemented this for the first time. This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.
Last year, the Cardinals had a losing record of 78-84 and limped to a fourth-place finish in the National League Central. As a team with a century-plus history and in a rebuilding state, there were no new entrants and no active players; however, the new algorithm showed fluctuations in the list.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes.
1. Stan Musial
2. Albert Pujols
3. Rogers Hornsby
4. Bob Gibson
5. Ozzie Smith

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
