2022 Cardinals Hall of Fame Induction Class announced

St. Louis, MO – The St. Louis Cardinals announced that Matt Holliday, Julián Javier and Charles Comiskey will be inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame.

It is the eighth induction class since the team dedicated the Cardinals Hall of Fame with an inaugural class on Opening Day in 2014.  An enshrinement ceremony will be held at Ballpark Village during Hall of Fame Weekend presented by Edward Jones on Saturday, August 27.

Chosen by the fans, Matt Holliday was the top vote-getter in the Cardinals Hall of Fame online balloting presented by Edward Jones.  This year’s ballot also included Cardinals legends Steve Carlton, George Hendrick, Matt Morris and Edgar Renteria. Cardinals fans cast nearly 30,000 votes over the six-week voting period.

The Red Ribbon Committee, a group comprised of 14 St. Louis baseball experts, elected Julián Javier as a veteran player for induction using a secret ballot process. Javier, the first Dominican player to appear for the Cardinals, was the club’s starting second baseman for 12 seasons from 1960-1971 known for his speed and defense. The two-time World Series Champion and two-time All-Star hit .346 across 15 World Series games, third-best in franchise history.

For the first time since 2016, the Cardinals also elected to make an organizational selection who has been an important figure in St. Louis baseball history, choosing former St. Louis Browns player-manager Charles Comiskey for induction.

Comiskey, who played first base starting with the Browns inaugural year of 1882 and later added responsibility as the team’s full-time manager late in the 1884 season, led the club to four straight American Association pennants from 1885-88 and captured the 1886 World’s Championship, defeating the National League’s Chicago White Stockings four games to two in a prelude to the modern-day World Series.
