I have been a Saint Louis Cardinals fan for as long as I can remember. When I was little my parents used to take me to games all the time. I loved them, ecspecially around the time that Mark McGwire was about to break the homerun record.When I was little, I also started collecting Cardinals souvenirs and autographs. Today I have about 15 different autographs and my room is decorated in Cardinals.
The Saint Louis Carinals have won more World Series than any other team in the National League.They have won 10 all together, along with 6 National League Pennants and 3 Central Division Championships. In 2001, they earned thier first Wild-Card against the Houston Astros.
