The Cardinals manifesto
The Cardinals is more than a baseball club. Your time here is about more than the season. This is practice for the rest of your life.
Cardinal standards are uncompromising. But our support is absolute. We will push you to your absolute best, on and off the field. And we will stand by you through every failure it takes to get there.
The innings will eventually run out. The jersey will eventually come off. But the resilience, the brotherhood, and the man you forge in the dirt will stay with you forever.
Leave the game better than you found it.
Purpose
To develop the people who lead the game.
To set the gold standard for Canadian baseball, where the best come to find their best.
