The Cards have been around since 1900. That's 116 years of baseball. In that time they have won 11 championships. That's one about every 11 seasons. They have also been there 19 times. That's a trip on ever age every 6 years.

Sure the Royals have won 1.5 titles since 1985 while old money has won 3.......the difference between them is the Cardinals have been to 7. They have also been to the playoffs 16 times in 35 years, going back to 1982, and 12 of the last 16 seasons have been playoff runs........while the royals have had 3 playoff teams in 32 years. Since we are comparing apples to apples
