If the Major League Baseball owners were too stubborn, somebody had to step in and make something happen. Before Branch Rickey, there was Rube Foster.

Before bringing Jackie Robinson to the major leagues, Branch Rickey had another brainchild that he launched decades before.

The first Blues team (1967-68)

Thanks to the Hawks, the city of St. Louis has a major sports championship in baseball, football, basketball, and hockey.

The NFL dominated the world of football for so long, but at the dawn of the 1960s came the advent of a competing league.

The first World Series championship for the St. Louis Cardinals was so extraordinary that Hollywood made a movie about it, starring former president Ronald Reagan about 30 years before he took office.

Once upon a time football was only a running game, and then, with some help from a president who’s on Mount Rushmore, a new aspect came in established in St. Louis that has a permanent impact on the game as we all know it.

There is a first in everything, and St. Louis is the proud owner of the first female owner in baseball history.

50 years of pain was wiped away in 2020 thanks to the greatness of Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. Now the tears of Chiefs Kingdom have turned into dancing.

First, there was Joe Montana. Then there was Tom Brady. And now, we’ve got this man, Mahomes!

Like Hollywood scripted it, “Game 7 in New York, bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, rookie closer on the mound, and a Cardinal killer at the plate”.
