The St. Louis Cardinals, a professional baseball franchise based in St. Louis, Missouri, compete in the National League (NL) of Major League Baseball (MLB). An investment group consisting of William DeWitt, Jr., Fred Hanser, the Klingaman Group, and others, owns the St. Louis Cardinals, who bought the team from Anheuser-Busch (AB) in 1996.[1]

Owners, transactions and valuation[edit]
Chris von der Ahe (1882–1898)[edit]
Chris von der Ahe baseball card.
Chris von der Ahe was the first owner of the Cardinals franchise, then known as the Brown Stockings and pioneered many of the elements commonly associated with the sport at the game. A German immigrant who made his way as a grocer and saloon owner, he saw potential in the sport without otherwise having any other background in it.[2] He also became a polarizing figure with his employees and rivals: Von der Ahe was a flamboyant and magnanimous entrepreneur who gained enormous popularity in St. Louis and his team but was reviled by rival owners. He was marked by a willingness to charge lower admission rates, encouraging play on Sundays, and opening beer concessions at the stadium, a practice that the National League prohibited during Von der Ahe's time. He also was one of the few owners to make a profit during his time, in contrast with his rival owners, whose American Association eventually collapsed due to bankruptcy. [3] National League owners such Albert Spalding bristled at his promotional techniques that became common to today's game. Charlie O. Finley, Larry McPhail, and Bill Veeck eventually employed sideshow attractions, like the "stadium club" and the shoot-the-chute.[4]
In 1881, after the Browns profited $25,000 from playing a season's worth of informal contests, Von der Ahe bought out the team's remaining stockholders for $1,800.[5] With baseball's already existing popularity in Cincinnati and increasing popularity in other cities such as Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Baltimore, the time was right for a new league. Late that same year, along with other owners and financiers, Von der Ahe formed the American Association of Base Ball Clubs with the Brown Stockings.[6] In 1899, von der Ahe, once the most successful owner in the AA, was forced to sell the Browns due to bankruptcy.[3]
Sam Breadon (1920–1947)[edit]
First making his mark as a local automobile dealer, Sam Breadon first purchased a minority stake in the Cardinals in 1917 for $2,000, thus commencing 30 total years as owner of the Cardinals. Three years later, Breadon bought out the majority stock in the club to become the principal owner of the Cardinals and extinguished the futility that dredged the Cardinals' first three decades in the National League. Between 1926 and 1946, the Cardinals won six World Series titles and nine National League pennants.
Breadon was noted for a very conservative nature with his finances, highly demanding nature of his teams' success on the field, and bold moves otherwise. When he became minority owner, the Cardinals were $150,000 in debt.[7] In 1925, he moved Branch Rickey from the dugout to the front office and promoted second baseman Rogers Hornsby to player-manager. Breadon also convinced cross-town American League rival St. Louis Browns owner Phil Ball to allow the Cardinals to move into Sportsman's Park. This allowed him to sell the dilapidated Robison Field property for a total of $275,000 to the city and a trolley company, clear their debts, and, with Rickey's oversight, establish an official, contractually-linked minor league farm system. This strategy developed into the current minor league system and the Cardinals used it to circumvent the practice of bidding against the more affluent Major League teams such as the New York Yankees and New York Giants for players from minor league teams, which at that time were unaffiliated. Although Minor League Baseball has existed as long as baseball has been organized, it was the first player development system of its kind in any professional sport.[8]
Between 1920 and 1947, the Cardinals compiled a record of 2,470-1,830 for a winning percentage of .574.[9] When he sold the Cardinals to Fred Saigh and Robert Hannegan in 1947, the price was $3 million, at the time the largest transaction in baseball history.[7][10]
Fred Saigh (1947-1953)[edit]
At the end of the 1947 baseball season, Saigh got wind that longtime Cardinals owner Sam Breadon wanted to sell. Breadon faced two problems. He was ill with prostate cancer, and he had been unable to find land on which to build a planned new ballpark. The Cardinals had rented Sportsman's Park from the city's other major league team, the American League Browns, since 1920. Although they had long since surpassed the Browns as the city's most popular team, Breadon wanted to build a park of his own. He had set aside $5 million to build a park, and was facing the end of a five-year deadline to build it before having to pay taxes on that money. Saigh persuaded Breadon to sell the Cardinals to him, with the assurance that he wouldn't have to pay taxes on his $5 million fund. To further put him at ease, Saigh brought in Robert Hannegan as a minority partner. Hannegan was a prominent St. Louis businessman, former United States Postmaster General, and confidante of President Harry Truman. The $4 million deal closed in late 1947.
Saigh inherited a team in transition. The Cardinals, though then just one year removed from their ninth National League pennant and sixth World Series championship since 1926, had begun to decay as an organization. Five years before, Breadon had forced out legendary general manager Branch Rickey, who had quickly resurfaced with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Meanwhile, the Browns, under new owner Bill Veeck, began a concerted effort to drive the Cardinals out of town.[11]
In January, 1949, Hannegan, suffering from poor health, his share o[12] f the team to Saigh. Hannegan died that October of heart disease. As sole owner, Saigh's notable actions included leading other baseball owners to oust (by not renewing his contract) Commissioner of Baseball Happy Chandler in December, 1950 [13] and proposing revenue-sharing of local television revenues.[14]
However, the tax dodge Saigh used soon came to light, as well as other questionable practices on his part.[11] Saigh was indicted on federal charges of evading $49,260 in income taxes between 1946 and 1949. In January 1953, he pleaded no contest to two counts involving more than $19,000 in tax underpayments, and was sentenced to 15 months in prison.[15] He served five months at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, leaving in November 1953 when he was given parole for good behavior.
In February 1953, under pressure from Commissioner Ford Frick, Saigh put the Cardinals up for sale.[15] Saigh would have almost certainly been thrown out of baseball if he hadn't sold the team. For a time, no credible offers surfaced from St. Louis interests, making it seem likely that the team would be purchased by someone interested in moving them to another city. The most promising offer came from a consortium of businessmen in Houston, Texas. The Cardinals owned the Houston Buffaloes of the Texas League; under major-league rules of the time, that meant they also held the major-league rights to Houston. The only question was whether Buffalo Stadium could be upgraded to major-league standards.[16]
However, just before he was due to reach a final agreement with the Houston group, Saigh sold the Cardinals to Anheuser-Busch, the St. Louis-based brewery. Although Anheuser-Busch's offer was far less ($3.75 million) than what out-of-town suitors had on the table, Anheuser-Busch president Gussie Busch persuaded Saigh that civic pride was more important than money. This all but assured that the Cardinals would stay in St. Louis. Shortly afterward, the Cardinals bought Sportsman's Park from the Browns. With their remaining leverage gone, it was the Browns who left town by the end of the season, becoming the Baltimore Orioles.)
Anheuser-Busch (1953–1996)[edit]
DeWitt, Baur and Hanser (1996–present)[edit]
Current CEO and chairman, Bill DeWitt Jr.
As with other periods of the Cardinals' transaction history, doubt loomed as to whether the purchaser would keep the team in St. Louis, due to the city's status as a "small market", which appear to handicap a club's competitiveness. Such was the case when Sam Breadon sold the Cardinals in 1947: then-NL President Ford Frick had proposed to Breadon the idea of moving the Cardinals to Chicago.[17] When AB placed the Cardinals for sale in 1995, they publicly expressed intention to find a buyer who would keep the club in St. Louis.[18] In March 1996, AB sold the team for $147 million to a partnership headed by Southwest Bank's Drew Baur, Hanser and DeWitt, Jr.[17] Civic Center Redevelopment, a subsidiary of AB, held the parking garages and adjacent property and also transferred them to the Baur ownership group.[19] Baur's group then sold the garages to another investment group, making the net cost of the franchise purchase about $100 million, making the net purchase price about $10 million less than Financial World's value of the team at the time $110 million.[18][20]
Current Cincinnati Reds owner Bob Castellini and brothers Thomas Williams and W. Joseph Williams Jr. each once owned a stake in the Cardinals dating back to the Baur-DeWitt group's purchase of the team. To allow their purchase of the Reds in 2005, the rest of the group bought out Castellini's and the Williams brothers' shares, totaling an estimated 13%. At that time, the Forbes valued the Cardinals at about $370 million.[21] However, after reabsorbing that stake into the remainder of the group, they decided to make it available to new investors in 2010. Amid later allegations that the Cardinals owed the city profit shares, DeWitt revealed that their profitability had not reached the threshold to trigger that obligation.[22]
Recent annual financial records[edit]
As of 2013, according to Forbes, the Cardinals are the tenth-most valuable franchise of 30 in MLB at $716.2 million, with a revenue of $239 million. They play "in the best single-team baseball market in the country and are among the league's leaders in television ratings and attendance every season."[23] Concurrent with the growth of Major League Baseball, the Cardinals value has increased significantly since the Baur-DeWitt purchase. In 2000, the franchise was valued at $219 million,[24] a growth rate of 327%. Since 2012, the franchise's value grew 21%.

General managers[edit]
A total of 14 general managers (GM) have served for the Cardinals. Branch Rickey was the Cardinals first official GM –– however, his role initially called for him to function more as a business manager –– as he pioneered certain functions attributed to the contemporary GM, such as developing the forerunner of the minor league farm system that all Major League Baseball franchises use today. Rickey is also the longest tenured GM in franchise history with 23 years. Notable Cardinals who have served as GM but gained their notoriety through other roles while with the Cardinals include former outfielder Stan Musial and manager Whitey Herzog. Rickey, William Walsingham, Jr., Musial, Joe McDonald, Walt Jocketty and Mozeliak each won at least one World Series as Cardinals GM. Rickey won the most with four. Hall of Fame inductees who have served as GM for the Cardinals include Herzog, Musial and Rickey.

Original airdate
01
"Night of Vampires"
"Vanpaia no Naito" (ヴァンパイアの夜) April 7, 2008
Yuki Cross recalls her earliest memories, in which she was attacked by a vampire and saved by the Pureblood vampire Kaname Kuran. In the present, she attends the Cross Academy, a school founded by her adoptive father, Headmaster Kaien Cross, and she works as a "Guardian" with vampire hunter Zero Kiryu to protect the human students of the "Day Class" from the vampires of the "Night Class", an arrangement created by Kaien to foster better relations between vampires and humans. That evening, Yuki discovers a pair of male Night Class students, Hanabusa Aido and Akatsuki Kain, threatening to feed on a pair of female Day Class students. Yuki attempts to stop them, only for Hanabusa to drink some of her blood from a wound she got from climbing down a tree. They retreat only after Zero arrives and threatens them with his anti-vampire gun, Bloody Rose. Kaname takes Hanabusa and Akatsuki to Kaien for punishment while the female students' memory of the event is erased. Cleaning up for bed, Zero shows signs of vampirism by becoming enticed by the sight of Yuki's neck while she is drying her hair.
02
"Memories of Blood"
"Chi no Memorī" (血の記憶) April 14, 2008
On St. Valentine's Day, Yuki and Zero are forced to organize the exchanging of chocolates between the Day Class and Night Class members, a process made difficult by the fact that most of members of the Day Class are enamored with members of the Night Class. After the Night Class students receive all their presents, Zero gives Yuki's present to Kaname, who takes her present after discarding all the other gifts he received. Zero is constantly tempted by Yuki's scent and he has to go somewhere away from Yuki to avoid hurting her. That evening, Zero is attacked by several Night Class students, including Hanabusa and Akatsuki, and they retreat after realizing that attacking him would incur Kaname's anger. Afterwards, Yuki finds Zero in Kaien's bathroom, giving him a chocolate she made herself. Zero sees Yuki's neck and his vampire impulses start, but he leaves before anything happens. After Zero leaves, Yuki notices he had a blood tablet with him, confusing her.
03
"The Fang of Repentance"
"Zange no Fangu" (懺悔の牙) April 21, 2008
Kaien officially makes Yuki and Zero the Disciplinary Committee. Yuki and Zero are assigned to inspect the dorms for any banned items. Later on, Yuki discovers Zero has blood tablets, normally taken by the Night Class students to quench their thirst for blood, forcing Zero flee to the nearby town. Following Zero, Yuki encounters a young boy who leads her deeper into the town. Revealing that he is a vampire, the boy bites Yuki on the hand, and she is attacked by another vampire. Both of the vampires are dispatched by Zero and Kaname, who reveals that they are Level E vampires, degenerate vampires consumed by their thirst for blood. On patrol that night, Yuki comes across Zero, and tells him about how much she feared the Level E vampires. Catching the scent of Yuki's blood, Zero is overcome by bloodlust and bites Yuki, drinking her blood. This makes Yuki realize Zero is a vampire.
04
"Trigger of Condemnation"
"Danzai no Torigā" (断罪の銃爪) April 28, 2008
Arriving at the scene, Kaname approaches Zero, but Yuki collapses when she tries to calm him down, due to the lack of blood. Kaname tends to the bite marks Zero gave Yuki, and Kaien later explains that Zero's family was attacked by a Pureblood vampire, who killed Zero's family and turned Zero into a vampire. Only Pureblood vampires have the cursed ability to turn humans into vampires, so Yuki is in no danger from Zero's bite. That evening, she overhears a conversation between Kaname and Kaien discussing Zero's transfer to the Night Class. Yuki goes to the Night Class dorms, only to be briefly stopped by Hanabusa, in hopes to convince Kaname to stop the transfer. Kaname refuses, noting that Zero will ultimately become a Level E vampire. Meanwhile, Zero ponders shooting himself with his anti-vampire gun, but is stopped by Yuki. He begs her to kill him, but she refuses. He later attempts to run away from the school, and Yuki stops him again.
05
"Moonlight Festivities"
"Gekka no Sabado" (月下の饗宴) May 5, 2008
Kaien gives Yuki a protection bracelet that would stop Zero if he attempts to bite her again. However, Zero also gives her an anti-vampire gun to kill him with should he lose his humanity. A new ethics teacher, Toga Yagari, joins the school, and in his first class, Zero leaves. In the town, a Level E vampire attacks Yuki and Zero, and they are saved by Night Class students Takuma Ichijo and Senri Shiki, who explain that they were hunting the Level E vampires as part of their duties as noble-class vampires. Takuma invites Yuki and Zero to his birthday party, in which Kaname explains to Yuki the continuing battle between vampires and vampire hunters. Zero leaves due to being uncomfortable by the presence of so many vampires and having smelt Takuma's blood after his hand is sliced by a cake knife. Yuki follows Zero, seeing that his body is rejecting the blood tablets, but he attempts to bite her. Unable to use the bracelet on Zero, Yuki pulls him into a pool and Zero manages to overcome his bloodlust. Yagari, revealing himself as being a vampire hunter, shoots Zero in the shoulder.
06
"Their Choices"
"Karera no Kuraimu" (彼等の選択) May 12, 2008
Yagari explains that he is Zero's teacher, and sacrificed one of his eyes to save him in the past. As Yagari prepares to kill Zero, Yuki shields him, which confuses Yagari, who believed Zero was a Level E vampire. Kaien arrives and convinces Yagari to leave. The following day, Zero is missing from class and Yagari tells Yuki that he isolated Zero in Kaien's guest room. Yuki goes to Zero, and he describes a previous incident he had with a Level E vampire, before reluctantly accepting Yuki's offer to drink her blood. He warns her that he may soon acquire a taste for her blood, but Yuki dismisses the warning. Later, Yuki meets Kaname, who realizes that Zero drank Yuki's blood. Yagari arrives and asks Kaname why he has not killed Zero. Kaname replies that he fears he would lose Yuki's affection if he did so. The next day, Zero and Yagari are absent from class, and Yuki finds Yagari pointing his gun at Zero again. As he pulls the trigger, Zero moves the gun away, finally deciding to live and fight against his vampiric urges once more. Before leaving, Yagari reveals this to be his motive all along and encourages Zero to struggle with all his life.
07
"The Scarlet Maze"
"Hiiro no Rabirinsu" (緋色の迷宮) May 19, 2008
During his target practice, Zero reveals that he can sense Yuki's feelings for Kaname through her blood, only to make Yuki angry for seeing inside of her. In a flashback, Yuki recalls when Kaien adopted her and that she was initially fearful of Kaname before becoming close to him. When Kaien brought Zero into the household, he explained to Yuki that his entire family had been killed by a vampire. Zero was quite different from how he is now back then, being quiet and keeping to himself. Shortly afterwards, Kaien established the Cross Academy with the Day Class and Night Class, which infuriated Zero. After class one day, Yuki attempted to visit Kaname, and saw him drinking the blood of a female Night Class student named Ruka Souen, which causes a frightened Yuki to run away. In the present, Zero finds Yuki asleep and is tempted to drink her blood. Kaname catches up to Zero, explaining that he has kept Zero alive all this time only for Yuki's sake.
08
"Gunshot of Sorrow"
"Nageki no Burasuto" (嘆きの銃声) May 26, 2008
Kaname refuses to leave his room, a decision that worries most of the Night Class students. Shortly afterwards, Takuma reveals that his grandfather Asato Ichijo, a member of the Vampire Council, plans to visit the academy. Kaname leaves his room to greet Ichijo, who says he wants to drink Kaname's blood. Hanabusa and Ruka come between him and Kaname, explaining that attempting to draw blood from a Pureblood vampire is taboo. Kaname hits Hanabusa for overstepping his authority, and later declines Ruka's offer to drink her blood. Later, Ichijo tells Takuma to continue to serve Kaname but keep watch on him. Yuki and Zero take Ichijo to Kaien. The next morning, Kaien assigns Zero to hunt down a Level E vampire. Yuki follows him and learns that Senri and Rima Toya have been assigned by the Vampire Council to hunt the same vampire. After Zero ultimately kills the vampire, a girl, who had been watching the incident through the eyes of a crow, announces to a man beside her that she will attend Cross Academy.
09
"Crimson Gaze"
"Kurenai no Aizu" (紅の視線) June 2, 2008
Zero dreams about Shizuka Hio, who cradles him in her arms in his dream. The Day Class students are excited over an upcoming ball, which they will attend with the Night Class students. Kaien asks Yuki to guide a transfer student to the Night Class named Maria Kurenai. When Maria attends class with the Night Class students, they are surprised by her boldness towards Kaname, and Hanabusa becomes suspicious of Maria because she is related to Shizuka. Maria encounters Yuki and Zero, who points his gun at her. After Yuki jumps in front of Maria, he allows her to leave. Hanabusa voices his concern to Akatsuki about Maria being related to Shizuka. The next day, Maria runs around the school during the day with Takuma giving chase. Yuki tries to help, but Zero stops her and tells her to stay away from Maria. Hanabusa later talks to Zero, who asks if Maria has any connection to Shizuka. Hanabusa reveals that Maria is related to Shizuka, and that Zero should know the answer better than anyone, as he has a blood bond with Shizuka. That evening, Kaname lets Maria move into an old dorm that was used as the Moon Dorm when it was first established. Once Maria moves into the dorm, she playfully pretends to bite her companion in her room.
10
"The Princess of Darkness"

Zero remembers telling his twin brother Ichiru Kiryu to flee after Shizuka’s attack. Maria tries to touch Yuki, but Zero pulls Yuki out of her reach. Zero begins to tutor Yuki to help her with her exams, and Zero reveals that Yuki is the only reason he is alive. Maria talks with Kaname, who knows that she is not Maria. Later, Zero goes to the old dorm while Yuki secretly follows him. He attempts to kill Maria, but is unable to pull the trigger because she is really his master, Shizuka in Maria's body. She attacks him causing him to pass out from blood lose. Kaname erases Yuki's memory of the incident, and Maria has her companion take Zero away. The following day, Yagari is angry that Kaien allowed Maria in the school. Kaien comments that Kaname told him to admit Maria and that the Vampire world has its own way of dealing with things. Kaname and Takuma visit Yuki to see if she remembers the events from the night before. Later, Maria unlocks Yuki's memory of Zero's fight and makes a deal with Yuki to save Zero from becoming a Level E vampire. Meanwhile, Zero recalls as a child that he discreetly sensed Shizuka as a vampire during the day when Ichiru was unaware of this. When Shizuka suddenly appeared at night and attacked Zero's parents, Ichiru was standing next to Shizuka smiling. Zero awakens and greets Shizuka's companion, who he knows is Ichiru.
11
"The Consequence of Desire"
"Nozomi no Dīru" (望みの代償) June 16, 2008
Ichiru reveals that he felt inferior and worthless in comparison to Zero, and this led to him to ally with Shizuka. Ichiru attacks Zero and their fight is stopped by Yagari. Ichiru attacks him, but he falls to the ground sending his sword into the air. As Ichiru's sword comes down towards him, Yagari jumps inbetween the sword and his former pupil resulting in him being stabbed in the shoulder. Zero takes Yagari to Kaien, and Yagari tells Kaien that Ichiru has returned. Yuki recalls Maria's deal to save Zero, that being either to give Maria her blood or to bring her the dead body of Kaname. Yuki allows Zero to feed on her blood while mulling on Maria's deal. Kaname gives Yuki a ball dress, and during the ball, they dance on the terrace. Yuki later accuses Kaname of treating her like a child, and Kaname claims that he simply wishes to protect her. Yuki leaves to talk with Maria, and Zero searches for her.

"Vow of the Pureblood"
"Junketsu no Puraido" (純血の誓い) June 23, 2008
Yuki tells Maria to drink her blood in exchange for saving Zero, but Yuki is caught off guard when Shizuka transfers her soul from Maria into her original body. When Zero arrives to stop her, Shizuka uses her voice to compel Zero to restrain Yuki, and he breaks the compulsion by shooting himself in the leg. He injures Shizuka, and she leaves after Ichiru arrives. Ichiru begins to fight Zero, and Yuki stops their fight. Ichiru threatens to kill Yuki, and in response, Zero points Bloody Rose at Ichiru's head. Ichiru reveals that the gun cannot harm him, as Shizuka never changed him into a vampire. Meanwhile, Yagari continues to argue with Kaien, who claims that he cannot interfere with vampire affairs under Kaname's jurisdiction. Shizuka goes to Kaname's old room, and he pierces her heart with his hand. After he drinks her blood, he vows to destroy their mutual enemy. Zero tells Ichiru that the smell of blood is strong. Ichiru leaves and finds Shizuka barely alive.

As Shizuka slowly dies at Ichiru's side, she recalls Ichiru visiting her body when she first took over Maria's body. Not wanting to turn him into a vampire, she tells him about her past engagement to a Pureblood vampire. She once turned a human into a vampire and became very attached to him. Ichiru drinks Shizuka's before she turns to dust. Zero rushes into the room, and Ichiru relates the hatred Zero feels for him before he leaves. Zero collapses shortly afterwards due to his thirst for blood and is taken to a secluded underground area by Yagari. Akatsuki arrives with Yuki. They see Kaien standing in the room over the dust that use to be Shizuka's body. He tells them that Zero was badly injured, and he was taken to the medical clinic at the Hunters Association. Later Akatsuki tells Kaname that he believes that Zero killed Shizuka. Kaname acts sympathetic about Shizuka's death. This bothers Hanabusa greatly because he knows Kaname killed Shizuka. Hanabusa later explains to Akatsuki that the man Shizuka turned and care about greatly was executed by Zero and Ichiru's parents because he was on the list of vampires to be executed by the Hunter's Association, yet he had not fallen to Level E status. Meanwhile, Yuki asks Kaien about Zero's condition, and later confides her guilt about Zero's pain to Kaname. Kaname goes to Zero, who is on the verge to becoming Level E, and forces Zero to drink his blood to alleviate his madness, claiming that keeping him alive is for Yuki's sake.

When doing so, she remembers when Zero told her that he could tell that she loved Kaname by her blood, learning that Zero had fallen in love with her. However, Zero, stating his role as a vampire hunter, says that he will ultimately kill Yuki, who will be looking forward to their next encounter someday, despite this cruel promise.
