Picking an all-time Cardinals team--the top five players at each position and the top five managers in Cardinals history--is an enormous task, but one which former redbirds catcher and Fox network sports-caster Tim McCarver is uniquely qualified to attempt.

Tim McCarver is a former Cardinal who was a member of two world championship teams in St. Louis. During his 21-year MLB career on four teams, he played in two All-Star games and three league championships series. He is the lead game analyst for Fox Sports and calls Yankees games on Fox 5 in New York. He won an Emmy Award in 2000 for Outstanding Sports Event Analyst and is the only network baseball analyst to cover the last 11 regular and postseasons. Phil Pepe is the author of more than 40 books on sports, including collaborations with Yankees legends Mickey Mantle, Billy Martin, and Whitey Ford. He is a former Yankees beat writer for the New York Daily News and a former president of the Baseball Writers Association of America. Joe Buck is a play-by-play sportscaster for Fox who has won numerous Sports Emmy Awards.
