==Season 6==
In season 6, the Cardinals returned, coached by newcomer shrewsbury91. The Cardinals were noted for their tough defense and stellar pitching but struggled on the offensive side. 
The Cardinals started out blazing hot. At the All-Star Break, they led the Frontyard League with a record of 6-1. However, their offensive struggles proved to be their downfall in the latter half of the season, and they limped to the finish with an 8-6 record, missing out on the playoffs. 
The Cards accepted an invitation to the BBL Consolation Tournament, where they ended up faring a little better. They won their first two matchups against the Wombats and top-seeded Bombers. In their next game, with a trip to the championship game on the line, they lost to the Pirates, 6-2. However, this tournament was double elimination. They fell to the loser's bracket, where they beat the Melonheads on a tiebreaker in a 6-6 game. They faced the Pirates once again, needing two straight victories to claim the championship, and they did just that! Their defense proved to be the difference, as they won 2-1 and 1-1 on another tiebreaker in the championship match. 
Mr. Clanky had an excellent year on the mound, pitching every inning and compiling a 1.09 ERA, a 0.93 WHIP, and a league record 127 strikeouts. He was voted as the Ace Wilson Award winner by the other coaches.

The Cardinals won two of their first three games, but slumped to a final record of 3-11, missing the playoffs. They declined an invitation to the Consolation Tournament.

== Season 9 ==
For the first time, the Cardinals were used in consecutive seasons, when coach Wizard took them for Season 9. The Cardinals played in the NL West, on the 2003 version of the game, and had a home field of Casa de Pablo.
The Cardinals had an up and down season, and they were in the playoff hunt near the end of the season, but ultimately they finished 7-7 and missed the playoffs.

== Season 10 ==
=== 2001 ===
The Cardinals came back for Season 10, this time coached by rBBL rookie Chellow. In fact, Chellow was a Backyard Baseball rookie, having never played the game until joining the league. The Cardinals played at Eckman Acres and had a stifling defense, constructed with help from Vissery. The Cardinals snuck into the playoffs at 8-6 as the second wild card. 
Derek Jeter was not only the Cardinals' representative in the all-star game, but he was also voted American League Goldie Glove for his outstanding defensive play.
In the playoffs, the Cardinals were matched up against the #1 seeded Giants, a team that had trouble against them in the regular season. However, the Giants stellar offense proved to be too much for the Cardinals defense, and the Giants swept them in two games.

== Season 11 ==
=== 2001 ===
The Cardinals were picked in Season 11 for both the 2001 and 2003 leagues. On the 2001 side, the St. Louis Cardinals were coached by rBBL rookie schwilly. They played at a home field of Steele Stadium and were placed in the AL Central. The Cardinals had a tough time scoring runs until it was discovered that schwilly was playing on the old version of Scumm that messed up hits to the left side of the field.
The Cardinals started out 0-3 but immediately turned it around with a 5-game win streak. But that was the peak of the Cardinals' season, as they ended up finishing with a 7-7 record, missing the playoffs.

=== 2003 ===
On the 2003 side, the Cardinals returned, although not at first. Towers-of-Obscure originally signed up for Season 11 and requested to be the New York Mets. However, once the draft started, Towers had a change of heart and stepped down as coach. The open spot was given to rBBL rookie Scott Egbert, who renamed the team the St. Louis Cardinals.
The newly-named Cardinals played in the Frontyard League West at a home field of Eckman Acres. The Cards had a pretty tough season, only outscoring the AI 67-58 over the course of 14 games. They finished with a record of 2-12, their two wins coming against the Padres, who lost to the Cardinals' AI, and the Melonheads, who went winless.

== Season 12 ==
=== 2001 ===
The Cardinals returned in Season 12, albeit in only the 2001 league. The team was led by coach ZiorBox under the name of the Texas Cardinals.
The team performed better than ZiorBox's team the previous season. Most notably, they shocked the Astros in the opening week of the season. Despite this, the team still had their struggles, ultimately finishing 3-11.
The Cardinals accepted an invitation to the Consolation Tournament, but the team took consecutive losses to the Hornets and the Astros, finishing in 5th place along with the Hornets.
