How many times have the Cardinals lost the World Series?
as in losing the series? they lhave lost 7 ('28, '30, '43, '68, '85, '87, '04) out of 17 trips that's not too shabby, i will also note just for fun, that the cards and the Yankees have matched up in the series 5 times, and the cardinals have beaten the ultimate-world-series-franchise 3 of those times, including Murderers Row in '27 (Ruth, Gerigh) so who is the greatest franchise baseball?=)
The Yankees played the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1927. The Cardinals defeated the Yankees in 1926 in seven games. The seventh game was one for the ages that included a supposedly hungover Grover Cleveland Alexander coming in to pitch in the 7th inning and shutting down the Yankees and saving the game and Babe Ruth being thrown out at second trying to steal for the final out of the Series.
That's right, I meant '26, for some reason I always say '27 even though i know that's not right, it might be because '27 was the year they had "World Champions" on the front of their jerseys, but yes you are absolutely right about the '26 series
Out of the 17 times the Cardinals played in the world seris, There should of been more than ten wins. Unlike most teams, The Cardinals feels like they have won enough.

What was the most home runs hit in a World Series game?
Babe Ruth Oct. 6, 1926 hit (3) home runs in one world series game, then amazingly repeated this feat, hitting three more homers on October 9, 1928!
Reggie Jackson Oct.18, 1977 also hit (3) home runs in one world series game.
Ruth two feats came in the same place, St. Louis' Sportman's Park, a field that was the site of Mickey Mantle's second ever MLB homer on May 4, 1951. Apparently, this field wasn't built to hold Yankee batters because Mantle's homer (vs the St. Louis Browns) left the stadium entirely and landed across the street in a car dealer's lot!
What is the fastest pitch thrown in the little league World Series?
As of September 25th, 2010: The fastest pitch, recognized by MLB and not somebody's recollection, was on September 25, 2010 at Petco Park in San Diego by Cincinnati Reds left handed relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman. It was clocked at 105.1 miles per hour. Tony Gwynn Jr. was the batter and it was called a ball, inside.
The Fastest Pitch: There seems to be debate over who has thrown the fastest pitch in baseball, based on many varying factors.
According to Guinness: The Guinness Book of World Records states that Nolan Ryan holds the record for the fastest pitch ever thrown. He was officially clocked at 100.9 mph(over the plate) on August 20, 1974, versus the Detroit Tigers.
Other "fastest pitch" claims:
Armando Benitez 102.0 mph 2002 Shea Stadium
Randy Johnson 102.0 mph 07-09-2004 SBC Park
Robb Nen 102.0 mph 10-23-1997 Jacobs Field
Eric Sjoberg 104.62 mph St.Johns high school
Additional input from WikiAnswers contributors:
You're talking about in 1946 when they used a photo-electric cell device to clock Feller. They clocked him at 98.6 over home plate. There was a theory that the ball loses about 9 mph from release to home plate, so they added 9 mph to it and got 107, so it's not an official pitch speed. If you want to talk fastest from release instead of fastest over home plate, then Nolan Ryan did a similar test in 1974 using lasers where the ball was clocked at 100.9 over home plate, which is the speed in the Guinness World Record books because they haven't officially tested any one else yet. They added 7.2 mph to it to figure the release speed, so they came up with 108.1.
Nolan Ryan's speed calculations from efastball.com
"How did we arrive at 108.1 mph? The facts are 100.9 at 10 feet, plus 9 mph drop per 50 feet. So add 7.2 mph (9/50*40) to 100.9 to get 108.1 mph."
Feller's from efastball.com
"His fastest speed recorded was 98.6 mph, but the measurement took place at home plate, or 60 feet from release. To compare his speed to others, you must add the average 9 mph speed drop from 50ft to the plate. Therefore, his pitch speed was 107.6 mphat the equivalent 50 ft mark."
In the 1930's, the military brought their big radar machine to the ballpark to see how fast Bob Feller was pitching; they gunned him at 107 mph.
Nolan Ryan at 104 mph. They did a segment on sports science on ESPN and they determined that the human body is physically incapable of throwing 106 mph. This nulls the accusations of Bob Feller's 107 and Nolan Ryan's 106.
Joel Zumaya of the Detroit Tigers also hit 104, I believe, but Ryan's was just decimals faster.
Stephen Strasburg at 103.
Nolan Ryan threw a Four seam fastball at 101 mph.
Nolan Ryan threw the ball 106 mph while playing in the MLB.
MLB does not recognize radar gun speeds as an official statistic. The fastest pitch I can remember was by Joel Zumaya of the Detroit Tigers that was clocked at 103 mph.
112 by John Smoltz
I'll defer to the Baseball Almanac, cited in the first answer. More impressive, however, was J.R. Richard's 98 mph slider during an All-Star appearance!
Mark Wholers 103.0 mph in spring training 1995
Joe Speer of the Niagara Falls Rapids (Detroit Tigers single A minor league team) threw a pitch 107 mph.
Some say Satchel Page threw harder than Ryan, but the fastest pitch ever recorded was 101, by none other than Nolan Ryan.
