The class is headlined by Mark McGwire, followed by Tim McCarver and Pepper Martin. The leading vote getters were McGwire and McCarver, after over 40,000 votes were casted. McGwire, known for his power hitting in St. Louis, while Martin and McCarver are known for their World Series performances with the St. Louis Cardinals.
As I mentioned how big of an honor this is for players, here is proof: McGwire said he was “speechless,” when hearing the news that he would be apart of the class. McGwire also stating how honored he is to wear the red jacket, and being in a class of Cardinals legends.
