Voted In By Fans
Two-Time World Series Champion & Longtime Cardinals 2B [Julian Javier](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/javieju01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)
Also To Be Enshrined; St. Louis Browns Player/Manager Charles Comiskey Selected 
for Induction by Organization

**ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 27, 2022** – The St. Louis Cardinals announced that Matt Holliday,
Julián Javier and Charles Comiskey will be inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals
Hall of Fame. It is the eighth induction class since the team dedicated the Cardinals
Hall of Fame with an inaugural class on Opening Day in 2014. An enshrinement ceremony
will be held at Ballpark Village during Hall of Fame Weekend presented by Edward
Jones on Saturday, August 27.

Chosen by the fans, Matt Holliday was the top vote-getter in the Cardinals Hall 
of Fame online balloting presented by Edward Jones. This year’s ballot also included
Cardinals legends [Steve Carlton](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/carltst01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral),
[George Hendrick](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hendrge01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral),
[Matt Morris](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/morrima01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)
and [Edgar Renteria](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/renteed01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral).
Cardinals fans cast nearly 30,000 votes over the six-week voting period.

The Red Ribbon Committee, a group comprised of 14 St. Louis baseball experts, elected
Julián Javier as a veteran player for induction using a secret ballot process. Javier,
the first Dominican player to appear for the Cardinals, was the club’s starting 
second baseman for 12 seasons from 1960-1971 known for his speed and defense. The
two-time World Series Champion and two-time All-Star hit .346 across 15 World Series
games, third-best in franchise history.

For the first time since 2016, the Cardinals also elected to make an organizational
selection who has been an important figure in St. Louis baseball history, choosing
former St. Louis Browns player-manager Charles Comiskey for induction. Comiskey,
who played first base starting with the Browns inaugural year of 1882 and later 
added responsibility as the team’s full-time manager late in the 1884 season, led
the club to four straight American Association pennants from 1885-88 and captured
the 1886 World’s Championship, defeating the National League’s Chicago White Stockings
four games to two in a prelude to the modern-day World Series.

“We take great pride in the selection process we use for electing new members of
the Cardinals Hall of Fame,” said Bill DeWitt Jr., Cardinals Chairman and CEO. “
I’d like to thank our fans as well as the Red Ribbon Committee who cast their votes
for this year’s induction class. Congratulations to Matt Holliday, Julián Javier
and the late Charles Comiskey on this tremendous honor. We look forward to celebrating
the achievements of these players during our induction ceremony in August.”

All 47 members of the Cardinals Hall of Fame are permanently enshrined in the Cardinals
Hall of Fame Gallery presented by Edward Jones located on the second floor of Cardinals
Nation in Ballpark Village, outside the entrance to the Cardinals Museum. The Hall
of Fame Gallery is free and open to the public. Fans can visit cardinals.com/HOF

A description of each Inductee’s career as a Cardinal/Brown follows:

Matt Holliday (Modern Era Player — Fan Selection)
Years: 2009 – 2016 .293/.380/.
494, 1048 H, 237 2B, 156 HR, 616 RBI, 573 R, 447 BB (982 Games)

Matt Holliday made an immediate impact upon joining the Cardinals a week before 
the trade deadline in 2009, hitting .606 (20-for-33) with 3 HR and 10 RBI in his
first nine games in St. Louis, including two four-hit performances. After becoming
a free agent at the end of that season, the Cardinals re-signed the slugging outfielder
to the largest free agent contract in franchise history. Holliday followed up with
three straight All-Star appearances from 2010-12 (and another selection in 2015),
a Silver Slugger Award in 2010 and a World Series championship in 2011. He led the
Cardinals in OPS for three consecutive seasons from 2012-2014 and received MVP votes
in five of his eight seasons in St. Louis. He smacked an emotional pinch-hit home
run in his penultimate at-bat for the Cardinals, sending the home crowd into a frenzy
that cumulated with a standing ovation. Holliday ranks third all-time among Cardinals
outfielders in career home runs and is tied for third among all players in postseason
games played (61).

Julián Javier (Veteran Era Player — Red Ribbon Selection)
Years: 1960 – 1971 .258/.
297/.355, 1450 H, 345 XBH, 494 RBI, 719 R, 134 SB (1578 Games)

Known for his speed and defensive range, Julián Javier was a stalwart at second 
base for the Cardinals during the club’s three World Series appearances in the 1960s.
Acquired via trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 28, 1960, “Hoolie” would make
his Major League debut the very same day and became the first Dominican-born player
to appear for the Cardinals. A two-time All-Star, Javier started the 1963 Midsummer
Classic that featured an all-Cardinals starting infield with [Bill White](https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=whitebi04,whitebi03,whitebi02,whitebi01&search=Bill+White&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral),
[Dick Groat](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/groatdi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)
and [Ken Boyer](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/boyerke01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral).
A skilled bunter, the 12-year Cardinal also had an uncanny ability to produce in
clutch moments, hitting three home runs in 1-0 games (sixth-most in MLB history)
and producing a .346 batting average across 15 World Series games, third-best in
franchise history. The two-time World Series champion blasted a three-run homer 
in the sixth inning of Game 7 of the 1967 World Series to help the club secure its
eighth title in franchise history.

Charles Comiskey (Organizational Selection)
Years: 1882-1889, 1891 .273/.299/.353,
1194 H, 244 XBH, 814 R, 689 RBI, 333 SB (1034 Games)St. Louis Browns Managerial 
Record: 562-272 (.674), 4 Pennants

Before joining the National League in 1892, the St. Louis Browns were inaugural 
members of the American Association beginning in 1882. Signed by Browns owner Chris
von der Ahe to play first base, [Charlie Comiskey](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/comisch01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)
eventually took over as a full-time player/manager at 25 years of age towards the
end of the 1884 season. The unequivocal team leader piloted the Browns to four straight
American Association pennants, winning at least two-thirds of his games in each 
season between 1885-88. Comiskey’s Browns defeated the National League’s Chicago
White Stockings (led by Hall of Fame player/manager [Cap Anson](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/ansonca01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral))
four games to two in the 1886 World’s Championship Series staged between the two
leagues in a prelude to the modern-day World Series. Heralded as a solid defender,“
The Old Roman” is widely credited as being one of the first players not to hug the
first base bag, but rather played closer to second base, enabling him to field more
ground balls and having the pitcher cover first base. His finest offensive season
came in 1887 when he hit .335, scored 139 runs, drove in 103 and stole 117 bases,
all career single-season highs, in 125 games. Elected to the National Baseball Hall
of Fame in 1939, Comiskey played an integral part in the founding of the American
League in 1901 and was the sole owner of the Chicago White Sox from 1900 until the
time of his death in 1931.
