ABOUT JULIAN JAVIER

Two-time All-Star second baseman who won two World Series titles with the St. Louis Cardinals.

He was given the nickname 'The Phanton' by catcher Tim McCarver because of his ability to get out of the way of charging runners at second base.

He was very fleet of foot, leading his team in stolen bases for four straight seasons.

His son Stan played Major League Baseball for 18 years.

He played with Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson for many years with the St. Louis Cardinals.
