I have lived all over America. I lived in St. Louis for one year (1987). Sorry Yankees fans. Sorry Red Sox fans. Sorry Cubs fans. There is no better baseball city in this country than St. Louis! And I'm a Dodgers fan.
Mine was back in 1982. Got to see the Wizard do his flip. Was most amazing. They played the Phillies that day. That had to be one of the most boring games in history. 14 innings and the Phillies got that one winning run. Phillies-1 Cardinals-0. That blew. But hey! They won that year's World Series!
Altho I haven't lived in STL since 2005, I will always be a Cardinals fan, for Life--STL is the best baseball city in MLB. I watched all these guys with the Cardinals thru the years and it brought tears to my eyes seeing them all at Busch.
Hell I’m a Braves fan and I just sat here and squalled watching this thing. What a class organization with so many old studs in that parade. Big ups to the Cards for honoring their glorious past with such a top notch presentation…
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. What a treat for St L fans to see some of their heroes. Trust me.....don't take such celebrations for granted. Doesn't look good for a day like this in Montreal! I was surprised when I looked up how many players were with St L and Montreal some time in their career......including Tim McCarver!
It brings Joy to the heart of a lifelong Cardinal fan like myself. I was a wee lad when some of those players were on the field like Joe Torre and Tim McCarver, but I still remember the excitement of being there in Busch stadium and seeing them play. Their steps may have slowed a little bit but the luster of their great efforts for the team hasn't lost anything ♥️
Congratulations to the St. Louis Cardinals 16 living Hall of Famers introduced in this video on opening day 2022 Vince Coleman, Jason Isringhausen, Scott Rolen, John Tudor, Bruce Sutter, Joe Torre, Tim McCarver, Ted Simmons, Mark McGwire, Jim Edmonds, Mike Shannon, Whitey Herzog, Ray Lankford, Tom Herr, Willie McGee, Ozzie Smith and also to Bob Gibson and Stan Musial may they R I P
These were my baseball heroes in the 1970s and 1980s in my teenage and young adult years, We all grow old, but seeing these guys in the seventies and eighties, with Whitey being ninety, brings tears to my eyes. Ah. youth.
Willie McGee deserves to be in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. St Louis knows it. The idiot writers who have kept him out all these years are trash. Same goes for Big Mac. I can pick out 10 players who have been put in Cooperstown who didn't have the numbers McGee had and the fact that he was one of the most important pieces in a decade of 3 WS appearances, is just downright criminal not putting him in.
These Red Jackets belong to Cardinals who have made it to Hall of Fame not the Cardinals Hall of Fame. Is nothing sacred? Ozzie Smith is not the same as Jim Edmonds. Ozzie gets the read coat give the other guys a different color. They are not the same.
A giant BS flag has to be raised after hearing the first sentence in this video, and I've been a Cardinal fan all my life since the mid-60s: "Since taking over in 1996, the team's current ownership group has engineered an unprecedented run of success on the field." The author of that line is clearly unfamiliar with the definition of the words "unprecedented" and "success". In those 26 years, the Cards have won 2 championships. The Yankees have won 5, the Red Sox 4, the Giants 3, and the Florida Marlins, like St. Louis, won it twice. I'm sure there will be many replies with other takes on success and defending the hype of that statement, but the last three words are ON THE FIELD. Feel free to ask the players, coaches, and fans of a losing team in the World Series - like the 2004 and 2013 Cardinal teams - if they had a "successful" year. A pretty good season, a nice run, or a good year overall falls short of the success everyone wants. If I were Bill DeWitt or a member of the ownership group, I would not have allowed that sentence to be broadcast.

Damn straight! Thank you for the testimonial. Go Cardinals and good luck to the Dodgers! (Not that they'll need it, haha)
I have to agree, I've been to every major league park except Arizona and St. Louis fans are the best.
Finally, somebody not from st louis says it. Lol. Peace and love to all baseball fans!!
@@buckeyechuck4064 since you haven’t been to AZ than your comment is wrong 😁😂
Hell yes sarasota sage! Cardinal tradition unlike any other! No disrespect to yankees or red sox!
My first Cardinals game I attended was in '62,been a huge fan ever since.This was a great video,thank you so much for posting this!

Phillies-1 Cardinals-0.
That blew. But hey! They won that year's World Series!
1984, and I still love Whitey ball. Give me 1-0 every day of the week
@@jeffreyballinger133 I was partially hoping for Ozzie to do his back flip. The whole stadium would have gone crazy.

I'm a Cubs fan, but respect MLB and the Cardinals. This was really 😎 cool.

Thank you. Glad you guys got that ring last year. Fun to watch
Chills every Year💯💯💯

Thank you. I miss seeing this in person every year because I now live in San Antonio. I appreciate you providing the video for us.

This video got me emotional. From St Louis and now live around the Charlotte area in North Carolina. I miss my cardinals.
Ted Simmons should have been inducted into the HOF in his first year of eligibility. Last but not least Ozzie Smith. '
Bob Gibson and Lou Brock RIP.

forgot lou and red
Mark McGwire Is The First Person I Think Of When I See The St Louis Cardinals Logo Albert Pujols Is An Close Second
Seeing this makes me so proud to be a Cardinal's fan!
Me too I am going to the Game on the 14th of May one day after my High School Graduation
@@levi24stl87 Awesome! Enjoy the game! Go Cards!
@@johnb.2006 thanks
Breathtaking. Never fails to draw emotion.

Awesome!
Loved this! I miss Lou and Bob 😢😢
The greatest baseball city in the MLB.
Awesome. I'm not a Cardinals fan but I have to admire them they are a tremendous organization.
I’m proud of all Cardinals past and present.
I’m a cubs fan and most of these guys haunted me the last 20 years, but they leave many memories
I'm not a Cardinals fan but the team did a nice job with this ceremony. Great names.
Can't believe Gibby's gone.
Love the MV3 Pujols Edmonds Rolen
The next time they have this event use 4 door vehicles.
Willie McGee deserves to be in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. St Louis knows it. The idiot writers who have kept him out all these years are trash. Same goes for Big Mac.

Good Lord
No Steve Carlton ?? He and Tim McCarver were like matching bookends
You can tell which of the old timers are still in relatively good shape if they can get out of the cars without having to put down the front seat.
I did not know Joe Torre was ever a Cardinal
No Bob Uecker!? :)
I feel bad for the Pirates, they see this on opening day as well as at the end of the season. This is what happens when excellence is emphasized.
Simmons looks like a professor
These Red Jackets belong to Cardinals who have made it to Hall of Fame not the Cardinals Hall of Fame.

Curt Flood?
Dead
I wish Ozzie would have done a backflip here. Missed opportunity.
To bad Bob Gibson And Stan Musial are no longer with us would to seen them up there!
Jeter was the greatest shortstop. Ozzie was good...
Jeter will tell you Ozzy was the greatest.
I hate the Cardinals but they do have a great fucking organization.
too bad you have hate for anything,may you find God one day
must be a loser CubFan
