Former Redbirds In The MLB Postseason
Thirty-one former members of the Memphis Redbirds are currently competing for a World Series championship in the MLB postseason.
The majority of this group are 23 members of the St. Louis Cardinals, Memphis' Major League affiliate. Most of the Cardinals' Division Series roster played or coached in Memphis during their careers, including eight members of the Redbirds' 2014 club, excluding Matt Adams (rehab assignment).
The Los Angeles Angels boast four former Redbirds, while the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland Athletics have two former Redbirds on their postseason roster with the exception Tim Wallach (Memphis Chicks, 1979). Orioles first base coach Wayne Kirby is the only former Redbirds player on the Baltimore roster.
There are no former Redbirds on the postseason rosters of the Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Francisco Giants, or Washington Nationals.
