Welcome to the 100 Greatest St. Louis Cardinals Series, an objective, statistically formulated ranking of the best players in franchise history.
This series was originally published at the Redbird Daily, but is now proud to call Cards Conclave home. This list was formed through an exhaustive statistical formula that sought to rank Cardinals players relative to each other.
