WASHINGTON -- Halfway through the month-long voting period for the Franchise Four campaign, four Cardinals Hall of Famers have taken the early lead as fans choose the most impactful players in franchise history.
Of the eight Cardinals on the ballot, Stan Musial has received the most support. Bob Gibson, Lou Brock and Ozzie Smith round out the top four vote-getters to this point. Also up for consideration are Dizzy Dean, Rogers Hornsby, Albert Pujols and Red Schoendienst.
Currently, the Cardinals are one of seven franchises for which the leading four vote-getters are all enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
