The good old days of St. Louis baseball are back for a weekend: the 1985 Cardinals are being honored, Walt Jocketty, Edgar Rentería, and Al Hrabosky enter the Cardinals Hall of Fame, and Yadier Molina joins the dugout as a coach. Bernie lays out why the Whiteyball era was not just successful but historically unique — from 314 steals in 1985 to the most steals by any MLB team in a decade (1980s) — and connects that identity to why the 2025 Cardinals feel flat (low speed and low power). He also makes the case for giving John Mozeliak real credit for the 2011 World Series, then zooms out: since 1982, the franchise sits among baseball’s elite in wins and October appearances.
