Hochman: If Max Scherzer wins Game 7, does he replace Yogi Berra as the greatest baseball player from St. Louis?

Yogi Berra is an iconic St. Louisan – heck, an iconic American – who was proud of his home city and starred in America's biggest city. His childhood home on The Hill is a stop on walking tours. He's a one-name American icon – he's baseball's Cher.

But if Max Scherzer wins Wednesday night in Game 7 of the World Series, does Max overtake Yogi as the greatest baseball player from St. Louis?

Of course, Berra played in an era with fewer teams, and in an era when there was less movement with trades.
