One each from the big 4 sports: Musial, Warner, Hull, Pettit

I’d argue Ozzie should be on there.

No Hornsby?

Maybe Pietrangelo? He did lead us to a cup.

It has to be Hull. But Crazy Horse can be Pattie Maroon.
MegaPhunkatron
Kent Huskins for sure

No one. I think that this is the correct 4. There are several other guys who are St. Louis legends, but these are the 4.
The Rams are gone and (as great as they were for a few years) their success was short-lived. The greatest show on turf was more than 1 guy and none of them were even close to the level of all-time greatness as anyone of the 4 guys on this list. None of them are on the level of Musial, Gibson, or Pujols. And I don’t think any of them had the peak performance or overall legacy that Hull had as a Blue.
Brett Hull is a top 25 NHL player of all time, is 5th in goals all time, and was the undisputed face of the Blues for a decade. Franchise leader in goals (175 goals up on #2) and is still in the organization today. He didn’t deliver a Cup on the ice, but his overall greatness and his individual accolades go well beyond any player who was on that roster. The 3 big guys from that era (Petro/ROR/Tarasenko) are all playing for other teams now.
St. Louis is a baseball town and that should be reflected on a list like this. The Cards have had some legends play huge chunks of their careers here and Hull has to be on it to represent the Blues.
Musial, Gibson, Albert, and Hull is dead on.

I get that selecting Rams (or Cardinals football) might be bittersweet, but how does Warner not land on there. I suppose if you literally can only have four they have the correct four.

You have to include either Warner, Faulk, Bruce, Larry Wilson, or Bob Pettit in on the list. Pettit was on 50th and 70th NBA anniversary teams and only Wilson was selected to be on the NFL 100 team.
