Hard for me to pick a favorite.  If they are a Cardinal I am normally a fan, but I do grow tired of certain guys while they still are a Cardinal (Izzy).  

But right now it is narrowed down to Wainwright, Freese, Craig, and Holliday.  All for obvious reasons, but I have to go with Wainwright, because when he has been healthy he can carry this team on his back.  Plus he seems like a good ol country boy.  Hopefully we get back to the WS this year so he and the rest of the guys can dominate again!

My favorite player on the cardinals is Lance Berkman because he had a great come back season with the cards after playing pretty bad on the at the end of his carer on the Astros and barely even playing on the Yankees. I think he should have won the world series MVP because he had 64 at bats and of those 64  he had 20 hits and 2 homers that’s an average of 313 a slugging % of 438 and 11 RBI including his clutch single in game 6 with just one strike left.berkman also did a great job during the regular season with 147 hits and 31 homers. thats why the big puma is my favorit player.

Wow, my favorite Cardinal would have to be Adam Wainwright or Matt Holliday. Wainwright is a great pitcher and to me the most important is he is a christian.  He is a great role model and kids should pattern their lives after him. When Adam is pitching I love to see batters bailing out of the box thinking the ball is going to hit them. Then all of a sudden the ball breaks and is on the outside corner. Matt Holliday is a down to earth and simple man. He could be a silent leader for the Cards this year. Over the winter he brought in some of the future Cards(hopefully) and placed them in a hotel and showed the young players around the city. He also had them come over to his house for dinners. After David Freese’s problems with alcohol Matt started being a big brother for David. I really can’t say any one player is my favorite because as long as the player has the birds on the bat, that all it matters to me.

Easy answer:  Allen Craig.  In August of 2011, in the midst of the pennant race, Allen & his wife visited my then nine month old daughter in Cardinal Glennon Hospital.  She was recovering from surgery on her skull, followed by a stroke.  You hear about players visiting kids in the hospital all the time, but you really don’t realize how special it is until it’s your child they are visiting.  During a stressful time, that visit put a smile on our face.  Today, my daughter is recovering nicely, and Allen Craig will forever the favorite Cardinal of this family.

My favorite current STL Cardinal is David Freese.  Not only did he prove himself in the 2011 World Series, but the fact that his home grown ability can solidify this newly managed Cardinal team makes him my current favorite.  I believe his strong base protection along with a solid bat will only benefit the Cards coming out of spring training.  I look forward to opening day!

My favorite Cardinal Player would be #23 David Freese 3rd basemen. My son got cancer in Oct 2010 finally to go into remission in Feb of 2011. During this time frame I owned a Pontiac Firebird 2002 (Last year they put them on Corvette chasis). I had to sell my car to purchase a 4×4 Ford Ranger Red to transport my son through the winter months to and from Cardinal Cancer Center Mercy Hospital. While there Fredbird came into his room. I never in my life watched baseball. In the spring I became a baseball fan. HUGE baseball fan. The cancer center sent us as a family to a game. Not the home opener yet the 2nd home game. OMG. That was beyond entertaining for us. I now have Cardinal stuff all over my truck, my computer room is now all Cardinal decorated up. In May of last year. I met David Freese at Mike Shannon’s for the very first time. He reminds me so much of our son. Semi close in age, manners, and just the overall appearance. I did mention my son’s cancer to him. He responds with I hope everything turns out fine, I’m sure it will. And it did. I spoke so SO highly of this young man. Was telling EVERYONE to follow him closely. Most people just laughed at me. I wasn’t nor did I ever break a smile when they responded like that. I don’t think anyone else deserved the MVP more than he did. Davids recover time from injuries was hand in hand with our son’s cancer recovery. I rejoiced the day my son’s cancer went into remission. I rejoiced and even cried the day the Cardinal’s won the world series cause me and my son was there together. My son just looked over at me and said Mom, Now maybe everyone will start listening to whom to follow in baseball. When David received the MVP award I couldn’t have been any prouder of a young man. WTG. Keep up the wonderful work. See you all in 2012. Go Cards

Lance Berkman!!!! I love his integrity. He only says what he truly feels. Not to dramatize the situation. I mostly love that a lot of people counted him out or medocre. He came out and had the best year of his life. And the best time of his life. When everyone was counting the Cardinals out of the running and Texas was on their way he was offered a trade or to be loaned. He stood his ground and said no I will not be used like that. He wanted to stay where he belonged even if that meant losing the opportunity of a ring.  He is a Cardinal!!! He stood by his team and RedBird Nation. He believed. And he made it happen. I believe that when he chose to stay and fight it gave the guys a renewed hope. They kept working hard knowing that there was going to be a window of opportunity. And when that window opened they all flew in.

I know I can’t win but I still want to do this for fun. It is hard to pick a favorite for two reasons one is the difference between pitchers and hitters. The second is that there is so many to choose from. But if I had to choose just one it would be Yadier Molina. He is the new face of the franchise, a fan favorite, the best defensive catcher in baseball, good with the bat, clutch, and an all around team player. Pitchers boast of his greatness as do his managers. He is an all star, a gold glover, and in my mind an MVP.Now that he is locked up for good he also shows he is a true Cardinal unlike his friend Mr. Pujols. I am lucky to have witnessed him play and he will go down as one of the greatest catchers and Cardinals of all time.

I think we won the world series because of everybody on the team and the help of God because he showed us that miracles actually do happen, there is no best player, they all have amazing abilities at what they do, and that is win championships

Yadi. I’ve liked him since he was our backup catchers….he is consistent and just loves the game. I like him so much I named my dog Yadi!

My favorite would have to be the return of Mike Matheny as the manager.  He was a great catcher and has a great attitude in life.  He will be a positive influence on this team.   

I would have to say Adam Wainwright, he took us to the world serious once in 2006 and ever since I have taken a liking in him. I believe he has tremendous talen and no one is his Caliber. He inspires me to say you could be the next Ken Griffey, Jr. HAHA 
I just want that shirt now if it’s best comment you are after you get back to me on and we shall discuss it on the local radio Ok. 
I want that shirt I’m an Aussie in Australia not even an American, we say Plagiarism “Come ON” by Leyton Hewitt

Alen M

My absolute favorite Cardinal is Skip Schumacher! He is such a hard working ‘team player’! Not to mention he is awesome ‘eye candy’ for this 54 year old grandmother of 7 great all Cardinals fans!!! Happy Birthday to a great site!!

my favorite Cardinal is David Freese because if it wasn’t for his walk off HR in game 6 of the World Series we wouldn’t have won our 11th title!!!
