Inductees

After debuting in 1987, Tom Pagnozzi impressed Cardinals manager Joe Torre enough that by 1990, he was named the Cardinals everyday catcher. Pagnozzi remained at that position until 1996. While “Pags” had moderate power and was considered an RBI threat, he was primarily regarded for his defense, for which he won  Gold Gloves in 1991, 1992 and 1994. Pagnozzi also made the National League All-Star team in 1992. Pags retired in 1998 at the age of 36 with a career batting average of .253, 44 home runs and 320 RBI’s.
