St. Louis Cardinals history
In 1881, Chris von der Ahe bought a touring team called the Brown Stockings. He called it the St. Louis Browns and entered it as an original American Association club. The Browns won four league titles, and two of their championship series against the Chicago White Stockings, today's Cubs, started a rivalry that still runs. In 1892 the club joined the National League, and in 1900 it became the Cardinals.
The list of firsts is long. Branch Rickey, as manager and owner, invented the farm system. Rogers Hornsby won two batting Triple Crowns, and Dizzy Dean won 30 games in 1934. St. Louis has 11 World Series titles, more than any other NL team and second only to the Yankees, plus 19 pennants and 15 division titles. Busch Stadium downtown has been home since 2006.
