ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The Missouri Sports Hall of Fame announced the St. Louis inductees for the Hall of Fame and it will include two very recognizable faces.
Longtime St. Louis Blues defenseman Barrett Jackman and just recently-retired St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright were announced as two of the 23 inductees set to be inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame this week.
Jackman played all but one season of his career with the Blues. In 803 career games, the longtime defenseman registered 28 goals and 151 points in his 13 year career with the Blues, while also winning the Calder Trophy back in 2002-03 and being named to the NHL All-Rookie Team.
