Professional Christian Athletes Galore in St. Louis

We could take a deep look at the demographic of professional sports teams and what percentages there are of Christian Athletes per team and where they are at. However, what if you found a team where a high percentage of the players are Christian?

This can be found in the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals, one of those small market baseball teams that are in the playoff race year in and year out. Perhaps this routine of success is no coincidence. If a team is full of players that honor and glorify God, surely their success stems from something outside of simple skill.

One Christian on the team is Matt Holliday. Matt is an amazing outfielder who played college ball at Oklahoma State University. He had several good years with the Colorado Rockies before being traded to the Oakland A's before the 2009 season. Halfway through that year Matt was having his worst statistical year in his professional career. And then he was traded to St. Louis where he turned it completely around and helped lead them to the playoffs. Here is a video of his testimony of his faith in Jesus Christ.

Another player on the Cardinals that is a Christian is All Star Pitcher Adam Wainwright. Wainwright made a name for himself during the Cardinals World Series run several years ago. Now he is a staple and the leader of the Cardinals very good pitching staff. His testimony is below.

And finally Albert Pujols is a Christian too. In fact, he's one of the best all around athletes in all of sports. He's won multiple MVP awards, a World Series and he is a phenomenal leader on and off the field. As far as professional athletes that are Christian, he's definitely one of the finest.
