Kevin - What a
great site! I am diehard Cardinal fan once removed (we
moved from St. Louis to Iowa when I was 12) but I was there
in 1964, 1967 and 1968 before we moved in 1969. What a
great site. I plan to revisit it frequently!

Kevin - I really like
your site. Nice work. I'm actually surprised that
there are so few sites out there dedicated to the Cardinals.
Yours is the best I've seen. I'm 29 years old, born
& raised in STL and obviously I love the Redbirds.
Unfortunately last August my wife was transferred to
Williamsburg VA by Anheuser-Busch. I had season tickets
in the bleachers at Busch for 3 years before I left. Now
I'm stranded!
Anyway, I've sort
of re-discovered collecting. But I've found that now I'm
bored by baseball cards. I really like your WS programs
and other memorabilia. Could you give me any ideas on
where you got your
stuff? I've been doing a little bit of shopping on eBay.
I recently discovered Enos Slaughter & Bruce Sutter's
adressesses. I'm going to write them to see if either
one will sign a ball or something. Keep up
the good work. Mike Hamel

Kevin, Ran across
this website. I didn't realize you were such an avid
Cardinals fan! Thought I would just send you an email to say
"hello". Talk to you later. Doug Hadley (Kathy's

We
just had to check out your wonderful "Cardinals
history site". WOW!!!!!! We are truly
impressed! We've bookmarked it in our favorites.
Great job for a kid born in 1967.

Just wanted to
say that I enjoyed you website. I am also a Cardinal
fan, but maybe not quite at your level. I live in
Central/Western Illinois (near Hannibal, MO) and try to
get to as many Cardinal's games as my schedule will allow.
I am a IL State Trooper and my swing shifts often get in
the way of attending.
I don't know if
you would be interested in a "NOT USED" STUB
still attached 1985 National League Championship Series
Ticket? Game 5 Field Box seat. Not pimping, but I
have had this ticket since that game. I was unable
to attend due to a family emergency. At one time I
thought about collecting Cardinal tickets and that as
since went to the way side. Anyway, thanks for the
"fact-full" website for the greatest Major
League. GO CARDINALS!!!

Kevin - I
have a 1934 souvenir Baseball Bat from Peterman's Bird
House.
It says Cards VS
Tigers 1934 World Series and has a pennant attached.
It is a small bat, not a game size bat.
I have
asked dozens of people but no one can tell me anything
about it. It is not for sale as I have got attached
to it over the years. If anyone can tell me about
this bat, after looking at your web site, then it is you.
Please help!

Kevin - Nice work
creating this website. I found it doing a search for Ken
Boyer. I grew up in Webster Groves watching Flood,
Brock, Gibson, Carlton and loved the Whitey Ball years.
30 years later, I'm still bitter about the Carlton for tired
Rick Wise trade. Whatever Augie. I moved to
Arizona in 1995 and still can't cut the umbilical cord.
I tried last year in the playoffs, but when Tony Womack got
the hit to eliminate the Redbirds, I was irate.
Nevertheless, I quickly jumped on the Diamondbacks
bandwagon. It's a new season and Tony LaRussa still
haunts the dugout. The Cardinals have plenty of talent
to win the World Series, but Tony is about 3 Hall-of-Famers
short with his style of managing. Andy Benes starting
the
team's second game of the season? I thought maybe Kile
died or something. Hard to believe the Cardinals haven't
won a World Championship in 20 years. There's no doubt
they should've been there last season. I'll be at Bank
One Ballpark on April 15, 16 and 17 rooting on the Cardinals
and making a trip to Busch Memorial in July.
Go Redbirds,
Mike G.

I just wanted to let you know that I really liked your Cardinal Site. I see
you have a lot of the same cardinal collectibles that I do. I am trying to
find some odd ball stuff on the Gashouse Gange Era. Pepper Martin, Dean,
Frisch, Medwick are some of my favorite cardinals.
Also, I am trying to put together cardinal world series pieces, anything for
sale or trade I would be interested.
How about the game today, Andy Benes needs to get off the team. He just
doesn't have it and our manager needs to go also. We will never win a World
Series if we play American League baseball. Brett

My name is Steve
Owens, originally from Arkansas, now living in Durham, North
Carolina. I just recently (last week) found your site
and I must tell you that it is one of the greatest sites I
have ever come across. I am only 25, but I have been
loyally following the Cards since the fall of '87 and then
full blown since the 1988 season. To have all that
information you've compiled in one place is truly great, and I
even realize you are adding more day by day, or whenever you
get the chance.
I do have one
question for you. Do you have a list of the old logos
the Cardinals have used throughout the years, or know of
anyone, or any site that does? I am a big logo guy, I
love to copy and paste official logos for myself to make my
own wallpapers for my own PC here at the house. I have
all the new logos from various sources, but even if I did not
put them on wallpapers, would like a collection of the old
logos throughout the years. You would appear to be
someone who knows where I can find a site to download them
from or know someone who could email me some.
Thank you once again for your site, I am about to email a few
of my die-hard Cardinal fans your site's address to get them
to check it out as well.
Great site, keep up the GREAT Work! Steve Owens

Hello Kevin -
Just found out about your wonderful web site. I'm not a
Cardinals' fan since I grew up in Southern Cal where your
Cardinals kicked my Dodgers' butt in the late 60s and then
beat my Giants (I moved to Northern Cal in 1981 and renounced
the Dodgers soon after *g*) in '87, but hey I recognize true
brilliance. *g* And hey the Cardinals are one of the truly
great franchises over the history of baseball!
Hey I noticed what looks like an error on the Cardinals' Hall
of Fame page. The line on Bob Gibson says he pitched from
1959-1975 and says he was elected by the BBWWA in 1976. Huh?
That seems wrong. There's a five year wait isn't there on
eligibility?
Love your memorabilia page. I have a LA Dodgers program from
1968 with Stan the Man's autograph on it. He was sitting a row
or two in front of me at a Dodgers-Cardinals game and was
gracious enough to sign my program, along with those of a
handful of other kids.
I have my own site about the San Francisco Seals, if you'd
care to take a look sometime. Nowhere near as extensive as
your site, but that's ok. It gives me an idea of what I should
think of adding to mine. *g* It's at http://www.tdl.com/~thawley/seals.htm.
Regards, Todd H.

- My name is Scott Saeger. My grandfather was Kenneth L
Saeger. He played for the Cardinals and had a World
Series ring but I don’t know what year he won. I was hoping
that you may have some site or information that I could get
from you. Thanks for all the help you can give me.

Hi Kevin - Hey,
you have a great website. I'm a toy designer and can
appreciate all your hard work.
Anyway I have
inherited a cigar box of old things and among them is a
little red box that holds a wooden baseball bat pen and
pencil set. Each bat says the word CARDINALS in red
script and each bat also has a small blue circle with the
words WORLD CHAMPIONS in it.
Since the pen is
the type you have to dip in an ink well, I'm guessing 40s.
There was a similar set on ebay for the Boston Red Sox and
that set had an original ad in it to send away for
additional sets or a 1943 New York World Champions stamp
album. The company was called MAJOR LEAGUERS and was located
in Paterson, NJ. It looks like these sets did not say World
Champions like the Cardinals set I have, but National or
American League instead. Do you think this set was
made after the Cardinals won the 1942 World Series?
Any other
information you have on this item would be appreciated.
Especially as to value as I'll probably sell it -I'm a SF
Giants fan! Best regards, Bill Hanlon, Castro Valley,
CA

“What
fun to read and show my 5 grandsons. My Dad, Howie
"Spud" Krist pitched for the Cards and we love
sharing the history of the team, and the game, with them.
Ryan, age 11, is certain he is the next professional ball
player in the family and can't get enough of this stuff. Keep
up the memories.” Linda

"I
saw your website on the internet, and I'm hoping that you can
help me. When I was young, we went to St. Louis to visit
friends -- early to mid 60's. We went to Sportman Park to
watch the Cardinals play and in the game, I'm 99% positive
thinking back, the Cardinals hit 4 consecutive home runs in
one inning. It's hard to remember, but I think that the home
runs were hit by Bill White, Ken Boyer, Curt Flood, and maybe
Lou Brock. I think that Lou Brock was playing with the
Cardinals that day. I can't find an information on the
internet about the Cardinals ever hitting 4 consecutive home
runs in a game. I would appreciate any help that you could
give me. Thanks Dale Pruitt"

Can
you tell me who is the current owner of the Cards? Does
Anheuser Busch own the team? Knowing this will put
a disagreement to rest. Thanks, Len

Hello :) A quick
note before tonight's HUGE game. I was wondering if you are
acquainted with Grandpa Boog over on BOTB.com? If so, I would
love to see some of his Card stories somewhere, maybe your
site? He's 78 and a grand story teller. Love your site!
Thanks, wldflr-BOTB Lydia

I really enjoy this
website. It is a great source of history and pride for
the best fans in baseball. I was wondering when you were
going to update your website through 2004. I have been
referring your website to all my baseball friends and they
really enjoy it as well. They are also as eager as I am
in getting the update through 2004.
Continue to do a
great job. Thank you!
Sincerely,

My
Grandfather George Washington Paynter (real name spelled
Paner) played one game in the big leagues - August 12, 1894
for the then St Louis Browns before the name change to
Cardinals.
Game
was against Reds in Cincinnati and he was severely hurt
during his last at bat and never played again.
Do
you know of any team uniform photos of the 1894 St Louis
team? Any chance a copy of the day's score card is
available? I know his individual statistics from that game
but no confirmation of his beaning, etc. Injury was life
threatening, last rites performed, comma for a month is the
family story. In the clubs web site there is no reference to
being hit by a pitch so I am digging into the story.
Family
story is he had been playing at Mobile, AL minor league and
was hurt and home in Cincinnati convalescing when the St
Louis team arrived to play the Reds - he was activated and
got hurt in his one game. Any light you can shed on this?

At Charlie Gitto's
in St. Louis by the ballpark, there is a photo behind the
cash register of several of the 1964 Cards in their street
clothes sitting in front of their lockers with the jerseys
hanging in them. Seated from left to right are Maris,
McCarver, Gibson, Shannon, Brock and Cepeda. Do you
know where a copy might be obtained. (A good one, a
friend gave me one but from the underexposure, I suspect it
may have been pirated.)

I have a 1958 Busch
Bavarian calendar with the seating chart of the old stadium on
it. It shows the reserve ticket price at $1.85. The calendar
pages have been removed but the hard cardboard backing with the
seating chart and other info is there. I'm interested if this
is worth keeping. I would like to sell it if it is worth
anything. I am a big Cardinals fan over here in Parsons, Ks. I
just don't go back in the history that well. I usually attend
5-10 games a year. Any info you can supply me would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks Russell
