ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Former pitcher Edwin Jackson holds the current record for most Major League Baseball teams to play for: 14. So if there's any one player who'd be able to accurately rank some of the league's best fans, food, ballparks and cities, it's probably him.
Jackson spent half of the 2011 season and won the World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals, and he gave them a lot of praise when he spoke to MLB.com about some of the "bests" in baseball.

"The only place that I've never heard a person get booed, except for A.J. Pierzynski, is St. Louis," Jackson told MLB.com. "They kinda cheer for everybody, and that's something you don't see anywhere."
Jackson also said St. Louis' pulled-pork sandwich was the best he's ever had.
