Who Was Selected to the Baseball Hall of Fame?
The Baseball Writers Association of America will announce 2013 Hall of Fame Class at 1 p.m. on the MLB Network. St. Louis and Missouri are home to several Hall of Fame baseball players. And Florissant even has a few that call the city home.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch Hall of Fame baseball writer Rick Hummel reports the most anticipated Baseball Hall of Fame election in history will culminate this afternoon with the announcement of the vote on this year’s class by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Who will get in—better yet, who will be left out from this class—has been the subject of debate for years. Among those eligible for the first time: Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mike Piazza, Craig Biggio and Sammy Sosa. The 2013 Hall of Fame Class will be announced live on the MLB Network at 1 p.m. CST. Hundreds of professional Major League Baseball players have come from Missouri, according to Baseball Almanac. A few of them, such as Yogi Berra and Earl Weaver are even Hall of…

St. Louis Cardinals Season Ends in San Francisco
The Giants beat the Cardinals 9-0 in Game 7 to end the Redbirds' 2012 season.
There will be no World Series in St. Louis this season. There will be no parade down Market Street, no 12th world championship and no rematch of the 2006 Fall Classic. Monday night in San Francisco the Cardinals hopes of a repeat of 2011 were ended at the hands of the Giants. Just like in 1996, the Cardinals, with a new manager, had a 3-1 lead in the National League Championship series. And, just like in '96, the Cards failed to get win No. 4, losing in Game 7 in a blowout. The Cardinals were done in by a series of miscues and the inability to get a big basehit. But, credit the San Francisco, the Giants had to play perfect to come back and did just that. The loss in California closes the book on an interesting season for the Cardinals…

Go Crazy Folks: What's Your Fondest Jack Buck Moment?
Today marks the 10th anniversary of Jack Buck's death. What is your favorite memory of the Hall of Fame St. Louis Cardinals broadcaster?
Seemingly everybody in St. Louis—baseball fan or not—has a great memory of Jack Buck, the legendary St. Louis Cardinals broadcaster. Whether it was a candid moment on the streets outside Busch Stadium or a famous play-by-play call heard around the country, Jack Buck touched so many lives that he is considered St. Louis royalty. Here's a tribute Bob Costas, a St. Louis-native, left for Jack Buck in the book "Remembering Jack Buck: Wonderful Stories Celebrating The Life Of A Broadcasting Legend": "Jack had a presence in the life of anyone who was around St. Louis for any period of time. There were highlights—Ozzie Smith's home run, Jack Clark's home run, and the reading of the poem when baseball returned after the September 11 tragedy. …

You know, I've been to 3 of these nights at the ball park, and they always seem to give U. City the seats in the stratosphere. When the last one I went to had us sitting in THE VERY last row at the top (where we could hear and see the AC units) I decided no more for me. more ›

Meet Patch's 'Commissioner of Baseball' — Yankees' Mark Teixeira
All-star first baseman will answer questions, post exclusive videos and share advice for young athletes in new, regular feature on Patch.
Good news, Cardinals fans! There’s a high-priced, power-hitting, first baseman on the way. Not to play for St. Louis, of course (We think Lance Berkman and Allen Craig will be just fine). Instead, Patch users young and old can tap into the expertise of New York Yankees star Mark Teixeira, who has been named “Commissioner of Patch Baseball.” Teixeira, a four-time Gold Glove winner and two-time All-Star, will interact with Patch users by regularly responding to questions, sharing baseball tips, and posting exclusive videos. Teixeira will also offer young athletes advice on how to stay in shape and why healthful eating is so important for optimal performance. “I live in a Patch town now and I keep tabs on my original hometown via the Patch …
