St. Louis Cardinals All-Time Team

Below is a 28-player roster for the St. Louis Cardinals. The manager is Whitey Herzog.

Our selections are based on performance, impact on the franchise, and tenure.

We are picking a TEAM, not simply the 28 best players in franchise history. This roster is intended to be a representation of how a manager would use these players in a lineup and on a pitching staff.
