ARLINGTON, TEXAS — The former Cardinals outfielder from Cuba who hit his way to the majors via Mexico has become a breakout star of October for the Tampa Bay Rays, but there’s more Missouri to the World Series than sensation Randy Arozarena.
Let me show you.
Below are snapshots of the players in this year’s 116th Fall Classic who have connections to the Cardinals, to the St. Louis area, or to Missouri. One, a lefty who had not been in the majors since 2018, was just added to the Rays’ roster for the World Series. There’s also a Mizzou alum from Webster Groves and a Webster alum from Bridgeton.
