Episode Details

Alec Burleson just became the first Cardinals player since 2022 to hit 100 RBI, joining elite company with legends like Pujols, Edmonds, and Arenado — and he’s the first homegrown Cardinal to reach that mark since Albert Pujols in 2010. A lefty who’s also the first since Jim Edmonds in 2004, Burleson credits his teammates and coaches while staying humble amid a struggling Cardinals team five games out of playoff contention. Despite injuries plaguing the roster, he’s been a standout, leading MLB in August RBI and ranking top-tier in AVG and OBP. Drafted in 2020, he’s battled for every opportunity, thriving at first base this season — and though he’d love more wins, he’s laser-focused on doing his part every day.
