The Yankees and the Cardinals have played two series since interleague play began in 1977.
New York swept St. Louis in a three-game series played June 13-15, 2003, at Yankee Stadium. The Cardinals retaliated two years later, winning two of three contests in a three-game series played June 10-12, 2005, in St. Louis.
The 1985 World Series began on October 19, 1985 and ended October 27. The American League champion Kansas City Royals played against the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals, winning the series four games to three. The Series was popularly known as the "Show-Me Series", or the "I-70 Showdown Series," as both cities are in Missouri, connected by Interstate 70.
Yes, they have. The Cardinals and Yankees have played each other in the World Series and also in Interleague play.
No ... there is a Richard Vingle that played in 1962 and 1963 in the St. Louis Cardinals farm system. He pitched for the Brunswick Cardinals of the Georgia-Florida League and Billings Mustangs of the Pioneer League.
No. Mickey Mantle was never a New York Yankees captain.
No
Yes, he did. Tony Fernandez played for the Yankees in 1995.
There is no Derrick McGhee listed as ever playing for the Yankees.
The St. Louis Cardinals have won the World Series 11 times, second only to the New York Yankees.

Clearly, the New York Yankees and Major League Baseball aligned themselves together long ago. With the money behind the Yankee's club, the money in New York city itself, the commission and officials of MLB have structured the leagues to protect the numbers of World Series wins, American League Championship's and Division Titles won by the New York Yankees. To have any team let alone a "small town" team such as St. Louis eclipse the Yankees numbers will not be accepted by the officials of MLB. Why else are the leagues restructured as follows: American League's 3 Divisions 5, 4, 4. National Leagues 3 Divisions 5, 5, 6? So by placing the St. Louis Cardinals in a 6-team Division, the New York Yankees in a 4-team Division it breaks down as follows: the Yankees have to beat "only" 3 other teams. The Cardinalshave to beat 5 teams to win the Division. In a game of numbers I doubt a math lesson needs to be explained here and now! Food for thought? When was the last time anyone ever saw the Yankees play the Cardinals in "Inter-league Play"? MLB will have none of that so there can be no comparison of stats between the 2 teams. Leaving it to chance that the Yankees could come up short against the Cardinals is not a chance MLB is willing to take.
Never.
