St. Louis Cardinals Set a New MLB Record With This Achievement

St. Louis Cardinals failed to reach the post-season, losing the Wild Card game; however, the team’s efforts did not go in vain. Cardinals established a new MLB record as five players clinched the Gold Glove award, a feat no other franchise has won.

Notably, the St. Louis Cardinals had an incredible defense lineup in their squad for the 2021 season. Six Cardinals players were nominated for the Gold Glove award, and remarkably, five were awarded the honor on Sunday.

World Series winners, Atlanta Braves star Max Fried, won his second consecutive Gold Glove award. While their World Series counterparts Houston Astros’ Yuli Gurriel and Carlos Correa also clinched the award.
