As a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, there is so much rich history that I remember and also grew up hearing about on the radio or through my father. With free agency starting today, I wanted to examine the history of this club and free agency. Obviously, we all know that it was the Cardinals’ Curt Flood who in 1969 started the movement for what became free agency in 1975.
But, who are the best free agent signings in Cardinals’ history? This took quite a bit of research and time recounting the history of the club.
