Many fans will only have truly vivid memories of Albert Pujols, but the St. Louis Cardinals actually have a rich history at first base. From Stan “The Man” Musial to Joe Torre, icons across the generations have manned first base while bearing the birds on the bat.
Paul Goldschmidt is the latest addition to the long list of All-Stars that have played first base for the St. Louis Cardinals, but how will he be remembered when it’s all said and done? Goldschmidt has a career .297/.398/.532 slash line while averaging 28 home runs and 99 RBI’s per year in his seven full seasons in the majors.
