Dec.ST. LOUIS - Willie McGee, Jim Edmonds, Mike Shannon and the late Marty
Marion were inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame on Saturday. The
four players represent the initial group to be selected for induction by a
voting process that included input from fans and a panel of baseball experts.
St. Louis opened its Hall of Fame and Museum in April, and the first 22 players
to be enshrined earned automatic entry because they were in the National
Baseball Hall of Fame as Cardinals or had their number retired by the club. "I
was flattered. I thought it was a really special deal," Edmonds said. "When they
told me I was getting a red jacket, I had to step back a little bit. I think
this red jacket symbolizes much more than a plaque on the wall. We all are not
in the Hall of Fame and our numbers arent retired but we get to wear the red
jacket. Its humbling." All Cardinals Hall of Famers are given a bright red
sports coat to wear at team functions. Now, members of the Cardinals Hall will
get the same coat. Edmonds hit .285 and averaged 30 homers a year in eight years
with the Cardinals. He won six consecutive Gold Gloves in centre field and
played on six post-season clubs.

runs. A fan favourite, McGee spent 13 of his 18 seasons in St. Louis and was the
1985 NL MVP. The centre fielder played a big role in the Cardinals winning their
ninth championship in 1982. "It means a lot," McGee said. "After all the
sacrifices you made, this is a reward for the hard work and dedication and
discipline. Im a testament that with hard work and listening, you can be the
best you can be." Shannon is better known as a broadcaster but he was a good
player, too. He helped win two World Series titles during his nine-year career
with the Cardinals. He is now in his 43rd season calling Cardinals games on the
radio. "This is fantastic," Shannon said. "Look at how many of the Hall of
Famers showed up here for this. You know what that means to a guy like me? It
means a lot. They take pride in this organization." Marion, a shortstop, played
with the St. Louis Cardinals for the majority of his career. Marion was the MVP
in 1944. He managed the Cardinals in 1951 and then ended his career with the St.
Louis Browns as a player-manager.
