Albert Pujols, The Most Popular Player In the History of the Cardinals?
Albert Pujols is the most popular player the recent history of the Cardinals.
But that certainly might change down the road if he chooses to leave St. Louis.
That has us thinking about the most popular players in the history of each MLB franchise.
Now just to be clear, “most popular” is a completely different category from “best.” Of course the better a player performed, the more likely they were to endear themselves to the fan base. A long tenure would also lead to a spike in their popularity.
And just so there’s no confusion, players who have since ruined their legacy with steroids or other scandals, still can qualify. We’re talking about the peak of their popularity.
So which players are the patron saints of their franchise?
