The Cardinals compete in the National League (NL) Central Division. They are based in St. Louis, Missouri. The Cardinals' roots commence from an earlier local team from whom they took their original name, Brown Stockings. St. Louis established themselves in 1882 as a charter American Association (AA) team, shortened their name to "Browns" the next season, then joined the NL in 1892. They were also known as the "Perfectos" before adopting Cardinals as their official name in 1900. Their other nicknames are The Cards, The Redbirds, The Birds, The Birds on the Bat. As one of the most successful franchises in MLB history, the Cardinals has won 12 division titles, 19 NL pennants and eleven World Series championships - 1926, 1931, 1934, 1942, 1944, 1946, 1964, 1967, 1982, 2006, 2011.
