April 16 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, MO
Fox Sports Midwest
I really just want to talk about one discussion that went on in the sixth inning between announcers Dan McLaughlin and Rick Horton. They were talking about mlb.com's Franchise Four promotion, which aims to select the best four players in each franchise's history. Naturally, the topic came up about the Cardinals' four and this is basically what McLaughlin said:
"Will Yadier Molina be in the conversation? Let's give him another seven years or so, he might be in the discussion."
1. No, Dan. No he will not be.
Molina is having a great career, but:
Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, Rogers Hornsby, Albert Pujols.
That's the four today and that will still be the four in seven years.
2. Yadier Molina is 32 and in his 12th season. He's also a catcher. If he's still active in 2022 at age 39, then maybe he belongs in the top four in franchise history because he will have declared himself an alien. Aliens: automatic induction into the Cardinals' all-time top four.
Cardinals top 4, 2022: 1. Musial. 2. Hornsby. 3. Alien Molina. 4. Zom-door 7
