St. Louis Cardinals, L.P.
 PROFILE
They take their beer and baseball seriously in St. Louis: Beer-garden owner Chris Von der Ahe created the St. Louis Brown Stockings in 1882 to sell more brew. The team moved from the American Association to the National League in 1892 and was renamed the Cardinals in 1900. Since then the team has played in 15 league championships and won the World Series nine times -- the last in 1982. The Cardinals became one of 1998's hottest tickets, as Cardinal first baseman Mark McGwire destroyed Roger Maris' single-season home-run record of 61 slams. (McGwire hit an astounding 70 dingers out of the park.) An investment group led by St. Louis attorney Fred Hanser, Andrew Baur, and William DeWitt Jr. owns the team.
