Ex-Cardinals Superstar In Danger Of Losing Hall Of Fame Candidacy

The St. Louis Cardinals have a slew of Hall of Famers due to their long history of success and star power.

With the latest Hall of Fame class set to be announced on Tuesday, one former Cardinals superstar is in line to receive some disappointing news.

Former outfielder Matt Holliday has only received 1% percent of votes with just over half of the ballots revealed.

Holliday would need 75% of votes to make it to Cooperstown, which is impossible at this juncture. The pertinent issue is that players who receive less than 5% of votes are taken off of the ballot.

The seven-time All-Star, four-time Silver Slugger, 2007 Batting Title winner and 2011 World Series Champion appears set to be among those in the "Hall Of Very Good" category that will not receive the love needed to make it to Cooperstown.

Holliday batted .299, with 816 extra-base hits including 316 home runs, 1220 RBIs and a .889 OPS (132 OPS+) in 15 seasons across four organizations. 

The 44-year-old spent eight seasons in St. Louis, where he made four All-Star games, won the aforementioned Silver Slugger and finished in the top-25 of National League MVP voting four times.

Holliday will always be remembered as one of the more impactful players in this modern era of Cardinals baseball but did not quite do enough to be among the greatest of all time.
