The Truth About the Cardinals 10-Year Decline (And The Fix)
Cardinals baseball is in uncharted territory: angry fans and empty seats.
After a decade of postseason failures, the St. Louis Cardinals face a historic low with attendance potentially dropping under 2 million in 2026. Bernie Miklasz breaks down the "pathetic futility" of the last ten years, the loss of franchise icons, and why Chaim Bloom's farm system overhaul is the only path back to glory.
Key Takeaways:
- The Attendance Cliff: Why home attendance might hit 1980 lows in the 2026 season.
- The "Star Power" Void: How losing Yadi, Waino, and Pujols exposed a lack of replacements.
- Farm System Hope: Updates on top prospects J.J. Wetherholt, Liam Doyle, Joshua Baez, and the hard-throwing Tanner Franklin.
- The 2028 Timeline: Realistic expectations for when the Cardinals will contend for a championship again.
