The exhibit is centered around walls reflecting on the Club’s roots in the community and its promise for the future:

Timeline Wall – The winning tradition of the Cardinals in St. Louis, going all the way back to 1892 is covered in the extensive text and pictures that highlights the great history of baseball in the city, including the American League St. Louis Browns (1902-1953) and the Negro National League St. Louis Stars (1920-1940).
