Fans mock the St. Louis Cardinals as they finish as Spring Training Champions deeming it irrelevant once the season begins
The St. Louis Cardinals concluded their preseason spring training session on Monday with a big win. The team finished with baseball’s best spring preseason record.
The Cardinals beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-2 in their final Grapefruit League game. This win cemented a triumphant spring training record of 17-7-5, with a .708 winning percentage, the highest in major league baseball.
The Cardinals also fielded a roster that many predict will begin their first game come opening day.
The St. Louis Cardinals are YOUR 2023 MLB Spring Training Champions with a 17-7 record https://t.co/5YvDhNEzAj

Spring training records may not really hold any value of note. However, having the best spring record must be quite an achievement, especially considering the St. Louis Cardinals missed nine big-league players for an extended period due to the World Baseball Classic.
Baseball fans swarmed Twitter to take the opportunity to mercilessly troll the Cardinals for counting statistics that had absolutely no meaning or weight of any sort.
The spring training champions, unfortunately, don't have parades, much to this fan's disappointment, presumably.
@TalkinBaseball_ when’s the parade dont wanna miss it
Harsh, considering the season has just started, but really, only time will tell how the Cardinals and their fans will fare this year.
@TalkinBaseball_ about the only thing they clinching this year
The World Series would surely be sweet considering the Cardinals last won it in 2011. Twelve long years!
@TalkinBaseball_ @cardinalsdugout World Series would be cool, WBC is nice, but we all know winning a Spring Training championship is the greatest accomplishment a team can obtain
Well, everybody is entitled to opinions, and this fan is, too!
