As the second-most successful franchise in MLB history, the team won a total of 11 World Series titles between 1926 and 2011 – an incredible achievement. A memorable time in Cardinals history would definitely be the 1940s when Branch Rickey’s farm system came to fruition and brought the team into its most successful period. The team registered a .623 winning percentage across the 1940s, which was higher than any other Major League baseball team. Three World Series titles were won between 1942 and 1946 by the Cardinals, and between 1942 and 1945, they also won more than 105 games 3 years in a row!
The Cardinals were World Series champions in 1964, 1967, and 1982, and have since won 2 more titles since the turn of the century. Read about these moments as they were reported at the time in the pages of the Washington Post newspaper.
