Best players by number in St. Louis Cardinals history: 99-70
71. Sam Freeman
Freeman, who wore No. 61 when he broke into the big leagues back in 2012, was one of the rare players who chose to switch to a higher number after establishing himself as a major-league talent. The undersized lefty excelled while wearing No. 71 in 2013-14, posting sub-3.00 ERAs in both of those seasons before getting traded to the Texas Rangers in 2015.
