Mark McGwire, Jim Edmonds, Scott Rolen, Chris Carpenter, Jason Isringhausen, Edgar Renteria, Mike Matheny, and Larry Walker. These are just some of the names former St. Louis Cardinals General Manager Walt Jocketty either signed or traded for during his tenure in St. Louis.
Walt Jocketty also brought aboard (in 1995) the man who would become the Cardinals winningest manager in franchise history, Tony LaRussa. Under their joint leadership over the next 12 seasons, the St. Louis Cardinals made seven postseason appearances, won six Central Division Titles, two National League Pennants, and won a World Series in 2006.
