The 1911 St. Louis Cardinals season was the team's 30th season in St. Louis, Missouri and its 20th season in the National League. The Cardinals went 75–74 during the season and finished fifth in the National League.
Regular season
In the early hours of July 11, during the 1911 Eastern North America heat wave, the team was on a passenger train (the Federal Express) traveling to Boston when it derailed in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The Cardinals were on the last two cars of the train, which were the only cars not to overturn. The team was credited with assisting other passengers until help arrived; 14 passengers and crew members were killed in the incident.
