“One of My Favorite…” – Hollywood Star Chris Rock Reveals His Favorite Player From the St. Louis Cardinals

Chris Rock has been a part of the conversation for a few years now. The comedian-actor may be fresh off hosting the Oscars this year, but nothing is stopping him from getting to the ballpark. In fact, the comedian found time to catch a game at the Busch Stadium as the St. Louis Cardinals took on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sporting a Cardinals cap too, Rock was showing some genuine appreciation for the division toppers in the NL Central as he soaked in the atmosphere and the ballpark.

The St. Louis Cardinals sit atop the NL Central with 35 wins this season. And while this record is keeping them on track to make it to the postseason, the audience drew more attention as they took on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rock was seated on one of the top tiers. Snack in hand, the star seemed to enjoy the game as it went on. And the Cardinals did not disappoint. Ending up winners of a closely fought 7-5 win to flag off their games against the Pirates.

I love St. Louis!” said Rock. “Great crowds, great food, and I always catch a Cardinals game when I’m in town!”

And Rock knew Cardinal lore too. He ensured that he could rattle off a list of St. Louis Cardinals’ greats, naming some of the greatest to don the Cardinal Red, Chris Rock went as far as to mention his favorite Cardinals player.

Chris Rok mentioned that his favorite player was only active for the Cardinals in the 1970s. Alan Hrabosky, who played for the Cardinals as a left-handed pitcher, is actually the player that Rock liked the most. “The Mad Hungarian is one of my favorite players,” he added.
