Stan Musial retired the year I was born, but I am required by St Louis customs and courtesies to mention him in all lists

Batting order:
Lou Brock Outfielder
Vince Coleman Outfielder
Albert Pujols 3rd Base - he played 3rd his rookie year and occasionally later. Hush, I needed to leave 1st open for
Mark McGuire 1st Base
Jim Edmonds Outfielder
Yadier Molina Catcher - Ted Simmons hit better at C but Yadi MUST be on this roster
Kolten Wong 2nd - We've had better hitting 2nd baseman but Kolten is a generational defender and great base runner
Ozzie Smith SS - And the trend is complete - Better hitters must sit because of gold glove talent ahead of them

Bench Infielder Jose Oquendo
Bench Outfielder Willie McGee
Bench Catcher Ted Simmons

Bob Gibson SP
Joaquin Andujar SP
Chris Carpenter SP
Adam Wainright SP
Steve Carlton SP

Bullpen

Lee Smith
Jason Isringhousen
Bruce Sutter
