Rolen. I played third base, and when we got, at least in the time since I had been a fan, a bonafide third baseman, that was it for me.

Currently? Contreras, Scott. I like Pages. Good to live vicariously through some chunky fellas. Herrera could easily end up on this list. Winn.

Currently its Contreras, Donny, Herrera, Walker and Winn in that order.

In the 80s my favorite was Willie. Though Ozzie and Vince were up there as well as Tudor.

90s would be McGwire then benes.

This Century is Pujols then Wainwright, Yadi, Carpenter (Chris).

This decade would be Goldy then Arenado.

I loved Boyer as well. My uncle could never figure out why I liked Boyer better than Musial, but Musial was past his prime by the time I was following the Cardinals.

1 Gibson
2 Brock
When I was old enough to learn the history, Stan.

The Moonman Mike Shannon

Brock. Gibby. Ozzie. Willie. Mac. Pujols. Molina. Scott. Walker.

Current Cardinal? Easily Willy C. Only player with personality and talent to back it up.

It will always be Lou Brock. I had the opportunity to meet him three times, and he was a wonderful gentleman. He is missed.

Albert was fun to cheer for in his first 11 seasons, and I'm so glad he had his triumphant return.

My brother and I purchased a brick when Busch III was built: "Brock to Pujols, Fans Forever"

Simba
Herr

When I was very young, it was Ken Boyer.

Now (at age 66) were I to own a Cardinals jersey, it would be number "23", and say "Simmons".

Simmons - Gibson, Brock, Cha Cha, Vince, Willy, Ray, Hernandez, Templeton, Yadi, Victor. And the unforgettable Silent George.

Gibbie, Stan. Pujols, Ozzie, and now NA.

2nd Tier:

Boyer, Javier, Herr, and Jack Buck.

Kenny Boyer, of course. That man could play some ball. He should be in the HOF. At age 12, I almost had a heart attack when he hit the game winning WS grand slam in 1964.

I am now in my 76th year. Musial was my favorite followed by Lindy McDaniel. I was a huge Boyer fan and loved Simmons. Big Mac was a God send and Yadi, Albert & Waino were glue. I liked Paul DeJong and Goldy. Right now….nobody.

Ozzie Smith

Big Mac, Pujols, Ankiel, Holliday, etc
