The St. Louis Cardinals 1983 season was the team’s 102nd season in St. Louis, Missouri….and the 92nd season in the National League. The Cardinals went 79-83 during the season and finished 4th in the National League East….which was eleven games behind the NL Champion Philadelphia Phillies.
They were the first team in the Divisional play era to have a losing season one year after winning the World Series….as 1B Keith Hernandez, SS Ozzie Smith and OF Willie McGee won Gold Gloves this year….although Hernandez was traded to the New York Mets in mid-season.
