players about their journey from fans in Cardinal Nation to the upper
levels of the Cardinals organization.
Isringhausen grew up in Brighton, Ill. and is the Cardinals all-time
saves leader. McClellan graduated from Hazelwood West High School in
2002 and rose to the majors this season to make an immediate impact in
the Cardinals bullpen. Politte, a Vianney High Schgool graduate, was
drafted in 1995 and played for the Cardinals in 1998. He rejoined the
organization as a minor league free agent in December and is currently
at Triple-A Memphis. Freese, a Lafayette grad, was drafted by the
