The legendary trio of Albert Pujols, Adam Wainwright, and Yadier Molina is one that will go down in St. Louis Cardinals history.
The last time this trio was together before this year was 2011, when the Cards won their last World Series title.
They had also won a title together in 2006, all being in the picture when Wainwright recorded the final out.
Pujols left after 2011, but has returned to St. Louis for one last ride with his brothers.
Last night, the three of them got to share another moment together as the Cards won the NL Central for the first time since 2019.
MLB tweeted a photo of them on the field together at Busch Stadium to celebrate their latest accomplishment.
They've been there before.

One Last Ride
Pujols and Molina are done at the end of the year, and the same could be said for Wainwright as well.
But for now, the three of them will have the joy of experiencing one last October run all together with a chance to finish things off in style with their third World Series title.
On both the 2006 and 2011 championship teams, the Cards had a unique cast of characters.
The three constants were Wainwright, Pujols, and Molina.
They’re back together again for one more run.
It’s certainly been an emotional rollercoaster of a season for the Cardinals and their loyal fans as they say goodbye to some legends.
If they were to win it all, it would be the perfect storybook ending for three legendary careers.
There will definitely be some tears shed by Cardinals fans as they witness the final chapter for these franchise cornerstones.
We’ll see if they can win one last title all together.
