A decade is a long time. Ten years ago, I got the semi-bright idea to crowd source the best Twitter accounts in the Cardinals-verse. You know it was a little skewed because I wound up with the most points, though I didn’t count myself. Derrick Goold took the first year and, appropriately enough, is the [...]
I don’t write here very much anymore. In fact, I probably haven’t put anything up here since the Top Cards on Twitter series at the end of December. However, I’ve been thinking about putting up a guide to Cardinals podcasts and I was afraid it would be too unwieldy for my Substack. (Which, hey, if [...]
We finished up the actual list earlier this afternoon, with Katie Woo taking her rightful place besides cardinalsgifs in the Twitter Hall of Fame. However, I usually do a few extra sorts as sort of an epilogue to the main event, so let’s take a look at those now. First up, we have how many [...]
Here we are at the top of the heap. The pinnacle of the mountain. The accounts to which all others aspire. You’ll know the names (though one account might surprise you) and you are probably already following them. Plus we answer the question: do we have a new member of the Twitter Hall of Fame? [...]
Just 10 more accounts to go! None of the names should surprise you but perhaps the order will. Allons-y!

Our last post of the day is an eclectic mix of accounts, including a newcomer to the ranks. Let’s just dive in and see what we have!

We’re getting into some rarified air here and, spoiler alert, we’ve got some new accounts in the mix this year. Let’s see who is at the bottom of the Top 20! Number 20: hochman Sports columnist for hometown paper, St. Louis Post-Dispatch (@stltoday). Author of 4 books, including 11 IN ‘11 (about 2011 #STLCards). Host [...]
The last two days we’ve done a speed run through about 200 Twitter accounts. For the last 25, our approach is to take a little more of a look and give these folks the attention they deserve. You’ll see their Twitter bio, a pinned or recent Tweet, and then data both on their accounts and [...]
Here we go with the last bulk post. These are the folks that just missed getting into the Top 25. Many of them have been in that august company before and likely will be again in the future, assuming we do this in the future. That’s for later though. Let’s get to the right now! [...]
We’re starting to get serious now. Lots of great names in this edition that could have easily finished higher–and many have in past years! So let’s see who they are. A bit of a podcasting section. That’s A Winner is going strong, while the Birds On The Bat show seems to have moved on to [...]
It’s Day 2 of this basically week-long project and we’re taking a look at the back quarter of the Top 100. Let’s see who we have, shall we? I wonder if Lexie was able to get a World Series ring. If not, she’ll have plenty of chances to see her dad’s. Jodi hasn’t had a [...]
Last of our four posts for the day! We’ve made it from the very beginning to knocking of the door of the top 100. Let’s see who we have here! My man Gene took a tumble but I think that’s because the man loves to change his handle. I’ve known him for 20 years and [...]
