Welcome to STL Pinch Hits

It’s the best time of year, St. Louis.

The greatest living baseball players this town has seen are taking their red jackets out of the closet, the Clydesdales are preparing for their lap around Busch Stadium, and opening day for the Cardinals is almost here.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch journalists have long understood that the best fans in baseball deserve the best coverage in baseball. From Hall of Famer Rick Hummel to national beat writer of the year Derrick Goold to award-winning columnists Ben Frederickson, Benjamin Hochman and Jeff Gordon to world-class photographers, we take pride in providing independent and comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else.
