St. Louis Cardinals World Series Champions History Cartoon #1571873 (License: Personal Use)

This satirical cartoon by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch features iconic red cardinal birds representing each of the Cardinals’ 11 World Series championship teams (1926, 1931, 1934, 1942, 1944, 1946, 1964, 1967, 1982, 2006, and the implied 2011 or future win). Each bird wears a cap with its championship year, perched atop a giant bat labeled “World Series Champions,” while a newly arriving cardinal (No. 11) soars in with optimism. The dialogue bubbles reflect fan sentiment-acknowledging past glory and hoping for another title.
