Third baseman Scott Rolen and reliever Jason Isringhausen, both prominent members of the Cardinals’ World Series championship team of 2006, have been chosen for induction into the Cardinals’ Hall of Fame on Aug. 24, along with righthander Mort Cooper, who starred for World Series championship clubs in 1942 and 1944. The announcement was made Friday night by the Cardinals on Fox Sports Midwest.

Rolen and Isringhausen were chosen by fan balloting from a group also consisting of Keith Hernandez, Matt Morris, Edgar Renteria and John Tudor. Those six were selected by a Red Ribbon committee including media members and Hall of Fame managers Tony La Russa and Whitey Herzog. That same committee selected Cooper into the Cardinals’ Hall on the veterans’ side.

“Scott went through some injuries and I went through some injuries, and this was that light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, for me,” Isringhausen said. “This is something that nobody can ever take away from me and my family – something I can always look back and be proud of and I’m very proud of it.”

Rolen played six seasons for the Cardinals from 2002-07 and hit .286 with 111 homers and 453 runs batted in over 661 games. He won four Gold Gloves and was named a National League All-Star four times in that span.

Isringhausen, who pitched for the Cardinals from 2002-08, holds the club record for saves at 217, featuring his National League-leading total of 47 in 2004 when the Cardinals also went to the World Series. He was an NL All-Star in 2005 and is employed by the team as a roving minor league pitching instructor.

“We got two things from St. Louis,” Rolen said. “We got a ring and both got inducted into the Hall of Fame and those are going to go with us.”

Cooper, who was with the team from 1938-45, won 20 or more games in each season from 1942-44 when the Cardinals played in three successive World Series. A two-time All-Star, Cooper was the league’s Most Valuable Player in 1942 after leading the league in wins at 22 and earned run average at 1.78. He died in 1958.

The August induction will take place at Ballpark Village.
