I have not looked at the youtube video, but here are my 20 greatest Cardinals:
1.Musial
2.Hornsby
3.Gibson
4.Pujols
5.Ozzie
6.Boyer
7.Brock
8.Schoendienst
9.Slaughter
10.Dean
11.Simmons
12.Medwick
13.Mize
14.Bottomley
15.Flood
16.Edmonds
17.Brecheen
18.Haines
19.Wainwright
20.Lankford
No Molina?
or Bruce Sutter or Chris Carpenter (but I get it since their stints as Cardinals wasn't very long)?
Sutter pitched less than four full seasons for the Cardinals. A grand total of 393 innings. Not near enough for an all time great!

Yep
Why I added the "but I get it since their stints as Cardinals wasn't very long".

Willie McGee belongs in place of several of those names.

Mize holds the MLB record for most 3 HR games.
I live about 5 miles from his house in Demorest, GA.
Has anyone mentioned Pepper Martin?

Here are the top 20 based on WAR accumulated while with the Cardinals. Funny how similar the WAR list is to most fan lists considering how awful the WAR metric supposedly is.
Stan Musial
Albert Pujols
Rogers Hornsby
Gibson
Ozzie Smith
Ken Boyer
Enos Slaughter
Ted Simmons
Curt Flood
Lou Brock
Yadier Molina
Joe Medwick
Jim Edmonds
Johnny Mize
Ray Lankford
Red Schoendienst
Keith Hernandez
Jim Bottomley
Frankie Frisch
Marty Marion
Good to see Marty Marion added. He’s the one I was going to suggest.
