The regular season saw the Cardinals trailing the Milwaukee Brewers in the standings through much of the season but as has become their custom, they found another gear as the calendar turned toward fall.  The Cardinals qualified for the playoffs for a fourth consecutive year and their 11th trip to the postseason since 2000.

Two weeks after the end of the Cardinals’ 2014 season, tragedy struck.  Cardinals rookie outfielder Oscar Taveras was killed in a car accident near his hometown of Sosua, Dominican Republic.  Thousands turned out for a funeral procession through the streets of his hometown to say goodbye to the first player from Sosua to make it to the major leagues.  Taveras was 22.
