On every World Series Championship team, there are heroes who are remembered. But, in time, there are also some heroes who are forgotten.
The same is true in St. Louis Cardinals lore, where there are World Series heroes we remember quite well. Usually it’s the MVPs from a particular series such as Bob Gibson from 1967, Darrell Porter from 1982, David Eckstein from 2006, and, of course, David Freese from 2011.
