But what about the players who didn't quite reach the same level of stardom? The players who were good, but not great? The players who had their moments in the sun, but then faded away?

This book tells the stories of those players. The players who were once fan favorites, but are now largely forgotten. The players who had their careers derailed by injuries, or who simply couldn't live up to the expectations that were placed on them.

These are the stories of the unsung heroes of Cardinals baseball. The players who may not have been the best, but who still made their mark on the game.

Vince Coleman

Vince Coleman was one of the most exciting players to ever wear a Cardinals uniform. He was a speedy outfielder with a knack for getting on base. In 1985, he led the National League in stolen bases with 110. He also scored 120 runs and had 21 triples.

Coleman was a key member of the Cardinals' World Series championship team in 1982. He hit .333 in the World Series, with two doubles, two triples, and four stolen bases.

After the 1985 season, Coleman was traded to the New York Mets. He continued to be a productive player for the Mets, but he never quite reached the same level of success that he had with the Cardinals.

Coleman retired from baseball in 1997. He finished his career with 1,458 hits, 509 stolen bases, and a .285 batting average.

Ernie Broglio

Ernie Broglio was a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher who pitched for the Cardinals from 1954 to 1964. He was one of the best pitchers in the National League during the late 1950s and early 1960s.

In 1958, Broglio led the National League in wins (18),strikeouts (200),and shutouts (6). He also finished second in the Cy Young Award voting.

Broglio was a member of the Cardinals' World Series championship team in 1964. He pitched a complete game in the seventh game of the World Series, allowing just two runs on six hits.

After the 1964 season, Broglio was traded to the Chicago Cubs. He continued to be a productive pitcher for the Cubs, but he never quite reached the same level of success that he had with the Cardinals.

Broglio retired from baseball in 1971. He finished his career with 161 wins, 1,843 strikeouts, and a 3.61 ERA.

John Tudor

John Tudor was a left-handed pitcher who pitched for the Cardinals from 1985 to 1990. He was one of the best pitchers in the National League during the late 1980s.

In 1985, Tudor won 21 games for the Cardinals. He also led the National League in strikeouts (205) and finished second in the Cy Young Award voting.

Tudor was a member of the Cardinals' World Series championship team in 1982. He pitched a complete game in the fourth game of the World Series, allowing just two runs on five hits.

After the 1990 season, Tudor was traded to the Dodgers. He continued to be a productive pitcher for the Dodgers, but he never quite reached the same level of success that he had with the Cardinals.

Tudor retired from baseball in 1995. He finished his career with 122 wins, 1,517 strikeouts, and a 3.55 ERA.

This book also tells the stories of many other Cardinals players who didn't quite reach the same level of stardom as Coleman, Broglio, and Tudor. These players include:
