| Wow! What a season! Who would have thought the Cardinals would make
it to the World Series and then to win it? Unbelievable!
All aspects of the team came together at just the right, good defense, good
pitching and just enough offense to hold off the Padres, Mets, and Tigers.
Go Crazy Folks, Go Crazy! Enjoy!

2006 is the first year since 1969 in which the Cards will not
play a game in Canada, ending the longest streak of consecutive seasons played
north of the border by a US-based Major League franchise.
The Cards set a club
record for the most wins in April with 17... the previous record was 15 set in
2005.
