If you watch baseball then you know that the St Louis Cardinals are on fire at the moment, this is due to the fact that they are dead even with the reds for first place in the division. For those that are true Cardinals fans this is not that big of a surprise. Every year they are one better than they were the season before. This is due to a lot of the players that realize that the team is the best place to be in the National League.

Many teams will have a winning season once or twice in a row, but few will have the level of success that the Cardinals have had year after year. It is almost a tradition that when the post season arrives, there will be the St Louis Cardinals there waiting to take a shot at getting into the World Series.

While many times they are unsuccessful, there have been a few times in the past that they have struck pay dirt and got to the big game. This is due to two facts about the team. They are led by an outstanding coach with Tony Larussa and there is a ton of talent that is on the team looking to make an impact. Tony Larussa is the Joe Torre of the National league. He has brought a level of success to the teams that he has managed. This is almost like a ritual for him to lead his team into the post season. The only thing separating him from Torre is the lack of being able to win World Series titles back to back.

The other aspect is the players that have made the city their home and committed to winning games for the Cardinals. This as a result has been the driving force that has allowed the team to have as good a winning record as they have. There are few teams that are as dedicated to the cause of their winning as the Cardinals.

There are a dozen or so reasons as to why this team has had the success that they have, this is due in a large part to the amount of talent that has come through Memphis and made its way into the Cardinals organization. Many great players got their start in Memphis and went on to be a great success in MLB.

There is also a lot that can be said about the power of the bat for the Cardinals, there have been a lot of teams that have not been able to match the Cardinals hit for hit when it comes to the batting order. Albert Pujols has been a leader for the rest of the team to follow and learn from. This is why the team has such a high home run average.

There has never been a better time to show your devotion to the Cardinals, if you are looking to make an impact, then make sure that you check out the team this season and see what the entire buzz is about when talking about this team.
