The St. Louis Cardinal Hall of Fame contains
a great deal of Musial memorabilia
along with collectables from various notable Cardinals.
The biggest travesty of this museum is its
blatant omission of Harry Caray--especially noticeable on
the wall that honors "all members" of the Cardinals
organization who are Hall of Fame members at Cooperstown.
Although Jack Buck is recognized, his long time partner
is noticeably absent. Queries at the Hall brought a canned
response that Caray ended his broadcasting career with the
Cubs and was therefore considered a "Cubs announcer."
That doesn't explain why Steve Carlton and
dozens of other "Cardinals" who ended their careers
elsewhere and often gained more fame away from St. Louis
all have their pictures on the wall while no trace of Harry
Caray can be found!
