Two of the St. Louis Cardinals' most iconic players, Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, have been selected for induction into the 2026 Cardinals Hall of Fame. Fans voted for both legendary figures, cementing their legacies with the organization.
Pujols, a three-time MVP and one of baseball's greatest right-handed hitters, spent most of his illustrious career in St. Louis. He was a key contributor to the Cardinals' World Series championships in 2006 and 2011.
Molina, celebrated as one of the premier defensive catchers, dedicated his entire 19-year career to the Cardinals. His exceptional play behind the plate earned him multiple Gold Glove Awards, and he was vital in guiding the team to two World Series titles.
Additionally, pitcher Bill Sherdel, who played for the Cardinals across multiple seasons from 1918 to 1932, was chosen by the team's Red Ribbon Committee. Formal induction ceremonies for all three honorees are scheduled for later in the current season.
