Answer: .331

Anyone averaging .331 over 22 seasons should be known as "The Man". Aside from winning the NL MVP in 1943, 1946, and 1948, Stan was invited to many All-Star games, and was one of the greatest hitters in Cardinals history.

10. Enos Slaughter was a beloved Cardinal for how many seasons?

Answer: 13

Although he played 19 seasons worth of baseball, only 13 were here in St. Louis. No one year stands out above the rest, but all of his league-leading stats came between 1938 and 1953, while with the Cardinals. He led the league in doubles in '39, total bases, hits, and triples in '42, RBIs in '46, and triples again in '49.

His 10 All-Star appearances solidified his role as one of St. Louis' mainstays.
