[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1770234, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/cardinals-notebook-holliday-javier-elected-to-clubs-hall-of-fame/article_521aec10-0f9b-5595-bff3-580d71e401ed.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/rhummel']Rick Hummel[/URL] Outfielder Matt Holliday starred for eight seasons for the Cardinals, from 2009-2016, and helped them get to two World Series, winning in 2011. Julian Javier was the Cardinals’ starting second baseman for 12 seasons, from 1960-71, and helped them to three World Series, winning two. Holliday, a fans’ choice, and Javier, selected as a veteran player by the Cardinals’ Red Ribbon voting committee, were two of the players named to the eighth class of the Cardinals’ Hall of Fame, announced Friday night. The other was the late Charlie Comiskey, a first-baseman/manager for the original St. Louis Browns, forerunners of the Cardinals, in the 1880s. Comiskey was a choice of the Cardinals’ ownership group. The three will be inducted on Aug. 27 at Ballpark Village. Holliday batted .293 with 156 homers and 616 runs batted in for 982 games as a Cardinal. He was a four-time All-Star with the club. He polled more fan votes than Steve Carlton, George Hendrick, Matt Morris and Edgar Renteria, who also were on the ballot. When Holliday is inducted, several members of the 2011 World Series champions will be on hand, including three who are still playing in Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright. Bench coach Skip Schumaker, also was on that team. [/QUOTE]
