Uniform & Team History: After beating out the Reds and Pirates to capture the National League pennant, the 1926 Cardinals beat the New York Yankees in a thrilling World Series, with Grover Cleveland Alexander fanning Tony Lazzeri in the seventh inning with the bases loaded.

Oldtime Game History: University of North Florida righthander Josh Papelbon, younger brother of Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon, wore this uniform when he worked a scoreless inning in the '05 Game. From 2001 through 2004, it was worn by Rhode Island College third baseman Brian Trupiano, son of former Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Trupiano, in honor of his grandfather, a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan. First worn in 1998 by Harvard University pitcher Ben Crockett, later drafted by the Colorado Rockies. Jaime Quiros ('00) of Boston College went on to play for the Lincoln Salt Dogs of the Independent Northern League.

Also worn by: Danny Nugent, American International College ('06); and Mike DiCato, University of Massachusetts ('07).
