Highlights:

 

Rick Ankiel had a team high 11 HR's and 39 RBI's since 8/9 (date he was called-up)

Yadier Molina had his first multi-HR game on 8/16 at Milwaukee, going 3 for 3.  He also had 3-hit games on 8/9 & 8/10 and had 4 3-hit games in a span of 11 starts (8/2-16).  He had a career-high 15 game hit-streak from 5/1-24. (The longest by a Cardinal catcher since Erik Pappas, 16-game streak in 1993 (5/14-6/5))

Albert Pujols has 7 straight 100-RBI and 7 straight 30 HR seasons.

Chris Duncan and Albert Pujols are the only Cardinals to begin their careers with consecutive 20-HR season.

David Eckstein batted .405 in September, ranking 5th in the NL and ranked 2nd (4th in MLB) among all NL shortstops batting average (.310) since the All-Star break.

Jason Isringhausen recorded his 30th save on 9/22 vs. Houston, giving him five 30-save seasons with the Cardinals!

         Isringhausen earns co-player of the week (August 20th) honors!

Jason Isringhausen earned his 200th save as a Cardinal on 8/26 vs Atlanta.  He's only the 15th reliever in ML history to have recorded 200 or more saves with one team!

Tony La Russa moved into 3rd place on the all-time games managed list (4,409 games, 8/21)

Ozzie Smith named to the All-Time Rawlings Gold Glove Team!

The Cardinals pitching staff has put together 10 straight quality starts (8/7-8/17) (7/3 w/l).  This is the longest streak of quality starts since 4/23-5/4, 2003.  (The staff at that time was:  Matt Morris, Woody Williams, Brett Tomko, Jason Simontacchi, and Garrett Stephenson.)

The Cardinals equaled a MLB record by collecting 10 consecutive hits in the 5th inning of Monday, August 6th's game with the Padres. (game recap)

Brendan Ryan had his 1st ML hit & RBI at Oakland (6/16).

The Cardinals hit six home runs during Sunday's (July 15th) win at Philadelphia which ties a season high for most homers in a game this year in the Majors! (game recap)

Scott Rolen collected five hits in Sunday's (April 22nd) win at Chicago.  The last Cardinal to have five hits in a game was Edgar Renteria on 8/8/2004 against the Mets. (game recap)

Jim Edmonds appeared in his 1,000th career game as a Cardinal on 4/17.  (28th player to do so)
