Hernandez Elected To Cardinals Hall

Cardinal fans voted Keith Hernandez into the Cardinals Baseball Hall of Fame over Steve Carlton, Matt Morris, Edgar Renteria and Lee Smith. Hernandez played 10 seasons with the Cardinals before being traded to the New York Mets in 1983. As a Cardinals he hit .299 with 265 doubles, 81 home runs and 595 RBI while becoming the game’s best defensive first baseman. Hernandez won six straight Gold Gloves with the Cardinals. Yesterday was the first doubleheader between the Cardinals and Mets in St. Louis since June 28, 1983.  That also happened to be Keith’s first game back in St. Louis after being traded to the Mets.
