Kurowski played parts of nine years with the Cardinals, Rolen didn't. Kurowski with the Cardinals from 1941 to 1949, Rolen with the Cardinals from 2002 to 2007. Rolen played longer with the Phillies than he did with the Cardinals, and only won one ring with the Cardinals, while Kurowski won three with them. If Whitey hadn't gotten hurt, he might have won more rings with the Cardinals, because with him on the roster, the Cardinals didn't go below second place his whole career, and according to Wikipedia, in games that Whitey played for them, they had a .620 winning percentage. Can that be said about Rolen? I really don't think so. Kurowski was an All-Star more with the Cardinals than Rolen was too, so that's still another fact in favor of Kurowski over Rolen here in terms of the St. Louis Cardinals. And he hit better than Rolen did, over his career, for that matter. Just so you know, Nick. CD out.
