For me, they'd have to be #1 since it's the first championship I've got to enjoy (In 1982, I was 2 years old, couldn't really enjoy that one). Obviously the 1987 team will always be one of my favorites with Ozzie, Coleman, McGee, Herr, Clark, Pendleton, Tudor and Worrell, among others. The '04 team has still be up there, even though a lot of those guys are on the '06 team. Still the '04 team had a couple of my all-time favorite Cardinals in Woody Williams and Mike Matheny. What do YOU think?

You could definitely make a case this Cards team wasn't as good as '04, the problem with that though is that the '06 team had so many injury problems: Pujols, Edmonds, Rolen, Eckstein, Mulder, Izzy....I mean, this year was really about La Russa and how his staff got Weaver going and kept the other players going. I wasn't alive for the 60s teams...I couldn't even begin to compare, it isn't fair.

They are the best 83 win team they have ever had.

#1????
The Cardinals have probably fielded 50 teams in their history better than this bunch. Hell, this might be the worst Cardinal team in the past 5 years.
Luckiest Cardinal team in history? Certainly!
Best Cardinal team in history? Hardly!
