Outfielder Matt Holliday starred for eight seasons for the Cardinals, from 2009-2016, and helped them get to two World Series, winning in 2011. Julian Javier was the Cardinals’ starting second baseman for 12 seasons, from 1960-71, and helped them to three World Series, winning two.
Holliday, a fans’ choice, and Javier, selected as a veteran player by the Cardinals’ Red Ribbon voting committee, were two of the players named to the eighth class of the Cardinals’ Hall of Fame, announced Friday night.
The other was the late Charlie Comiskey, a first-baseman/manager for the original St. Louis Browns, forerunners of the Cardinals, in the 1880s.
