Let’s look at some active players who have played both sides of the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals rivalry, and will be playing this weekend.

The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals enjoy one of the most historic rivalries in Major League Baseball. That rivalry will log another chapter this weekend as the Cubs travel to St. Louis to face the red birds.

An interesting story line coming into this series is the number of players on the two team’s rosters that have played on both sides of the rivalry.
