History Of St Louis Cardinals World Series Wins
Since joining the American National League in 1891, the St Louis Cardinals have claimed ten championship titles in the Baseball World Series. Three-times champions over the New York Yankees, they have twice beaten both the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers, and seized individual victories from the Philadelphia Athletics, St Louis Browns and the Milwaukee Brewers. The World Series is a best of seven championship, which means that the contest can be won in as few as four games or, in a really thrilling tournament, victory may not be won until all seven matches have been completed.
The team known colloquially as ‘the Cards’ has faced the New York Yankees five times (1926, 1928, 1942, 1943 and 1964). The 1926 Series is famous for the moment Babe Ruth failed to steal second base when pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander struck out Tony Lazeri, thus securing victory for the Cardinals. Named after 22nd American President Grover Cleveland, the championship pitcher was later portrayed in the film, ‘The Winning Team’, by Ronald Reagan, who later became the 40th President of the United States. Sixteen years later, in 1942, the Cardinals beat the Yankees convincingly, winning four games to New York’s one. During that month in history, the Alaska Highway was completed. St Louis achieved their third World Series victory in 1964. Manager Yogi Berra was subsequently fired.
Appearing in three contests with the Boston Red Sox, the St Louis team have won twice. The first time was in 1946, when they beat the beat the Dodgers two games to nil to secure the pennant. During the same month Eugene O’Neill’s play, ‘The Iceman Cometh’ premiered in New York City and an unmanned rocket ship took photographs of Earth from outer space. Their second victory took place in 1967, when Lyndon Johnson was President of the United States and ‘Hair’ premiered on Broadway.
The first time the Detroit Tigers fell to the Cardinals in a World Series was in 1934, the year that saw ‘It Happened One Night’ sweep the top for honors in the Academy Awards. Dizzy (“It-ain’t-bragging-if-you-can-do-it”) Dean pitched the team to an 11-0 victory in the seventh and final game of the championship. It was to be another sixty-two years before St Louis once again demonstrated their superiority over Detroit, when they took the championship in 2006, this time in five games.
The team lost their first World Series encounter to the Philadelphia Athletics in 1930, coming back the next year winning four games out of seven. Burleigh Grimes distinguished himself by being baseball’s last legal spitball pitcher. This year saw the inauguration of scheduled transcontinental air travel.
The St Louis Cardinals saw off local rivals the St Louis Browns during the 41st World Series in 1944, winning four games to two. This was a difficult year for the country and for baseball, with many players serving in the armed forces.
On October 3, 1982, Scott Weiland ran the Detroit marathon backwards in five hours. Two weeks later, the Cards beat the Milwaukee Brewers four games to three in the 79th World Series. Soon after, Steve Carlton became the first pitcher to win 4 Cy Young awards and China announced its population had grown to more than one billion.
In their 120 years as a National League team, the St Louis Cardinals have become the second most victorious team in major league baseball, winning ten championship World Series. Only the New York Yankees have won more.

It Happened One Night [VHS] $3.55 Director Frank Capra (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) took home every Oscar in the book (well, okay, all the major ones) for this seminal 1934 comedy starring Clark Gable as a hard-bitten reporter who stays close to a runaway heiress (Claudette Colbert) rather than lose a good story. Funny and sexy, the film is full of memorable scenes often referred to in other films, such as the “walls of Jericho”… |

Architect Tom Jeffers (Joel McCrea) and his wife, Gerry (Claudette Colbert), further refine the archetypal Sturges couple–the male embodying strength, id… |
