“A card collection is a magic carpet that takes you away from work-a-day cares to havens of relaxing quietude where you can relive the pleasures & adventures of a past day—brought to life in vivid picture and prose.” — Jefferson Burbick, the OG of card cataloging. @baseballhall

This is the glove Pepper Martin wore in centerfield in Game 7 of the 1931 World Series. Martin hit .500 with 12 hits, 5 runs scored, 5 RBI and 5 SBs. The Cardinals won the series, 4-3. @baseballhall

Yes, further research states it may have actually been Lou Brock to use a teacup ended bat. Great trivia either way.

In 1966, Cardinals pitcher Larry Jaster set a MLB record that will probably never be broken. He shut out the LA Dodgers five consecutive times in one season. Think about that for a minute. This is a photo of the ball from his 5th shutout. @baseballhall

Here’s a future trivia question for all baseball fans. Cardinals pitcher Ryan Kurosaki made his MLB debut in 1975 and is recognized as the first American player of full Japanese descent to play in the major leagues. @baseballhall

These are the cleats Albert Pujols wore when he put together one of the greatest individual offensive games in World Series history. In Game 3 of the 2011 Fall Classic, AP was 5-for-6 with 3 home runs, 6 RBIs, 4 runs scored, and a record 14 total bases. @baseballhall

If you zoom in, you can see this is a bat used by Stan. On July 25, 1962, he picked up RBI #1,862 to surpass Mel Ott as the all-time National League leader. @baseballhall Joey did a fabulous job as our tour guide.
