2006
Busch Stadium III opens
The Cardinals moved into their new park mid-construction — Ballpark Village wasn't done — and proceeded to win the World Series in its inaugural year.
2011
Title via Game 6 magic
David Freese's tying triple in the ninth and walk-off homer in the 11th of Game 6 became one of the great World Series moments. The Cardinals won Game 7 to clinch.
2013
World Series appearance
Behind a deep rotation and a young Michael Wacha, the Cardinals reached the World Series and lost in six to Boston.
2022
Pujols' farewell
Albert Pujols returned to St. Louis for one final season, hit his 700th career home run in Los Angeles, and retired alongside Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright.
