2025 Cardinals Hall of Fame Induction Recap | St. Louis Cardinals

[Music] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Together Credit Union Plaza at Ballpark Village for the 2025 St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Now, please join me in welcoming back 12 St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famers. Now let’s meet today’s honores. The organization retains the right to induct an individual who has been an important figure in Cardinals history. This year’s inductee is Walt Jocky. Please welcome to the podium Joey Jocky. So the following are my dad’s words. As I reflect on my career in baseball, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. To be inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame is an honor beyond words. And I’m humbled to be recognized alongside so many legends of this great game. When I think about where it all came together, my mind always goes back to one place, St. Louis. The Cardinals are more than a baseball team. They are a tradition, a symbol of excellence, and a family. For over a decade, I had the honor of helping build a team that embodied those values. And I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished. To the Cardinals fans, the heartbeat of St. Louis baseball. Your passion, your loyalty, and your unwavering support make this game special. Every decision I made, every trade, every signing was with the goal of making you proud. Thanks this incredible honor. He’ll always be right here where he belongs in baseball heaven. Thank you. Let’s welcome back Edgar Reia Kendo take two minute last year talking here. I bet you I’m going to take one. Thank to the St. Louis Cardinal organization. Thank you for having me in the hall of fame Colombia and my family. Thank you to my teammies compadres. So the fans, thank you for supporting me every time. I wish I can speak more, but my heart that’s what I got. That’s what I got for you guys. Love you guys. Much welcome to Mad Hungarian Al Rabosi. Thank you, Chip. Thank you, Billy. Mr. Dit Mo, I got to thank you for the honor you bestowed on me as the Cardinal ambassador. I was proud of my playing career. When you realize it was 13 seasons in the big leagues and 15 years overall as a pitcher, that’s not even a third of my career as a Cardinal broadcaster and ambassador. To Cardinal Nation, to Cardinal employees, to the ushers and usherettes, to the fans, you fans are the heartbeat of this organization. What you have done and continue to do for me means more than you will ever know. In closing, I’m grateful that I found my best friend, my true partner, my wife June. You and our girls, our grandkids, and this red jacket have made me the luckiest mad man in the world. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, the St. Louis Cardinals 2025 Hall of Fame class. [Music]
