Current Leadership
Chairman & Managing Partner
Bill DeWitt Jr., a Cincinnati-born investor and managing partner of DeWitt Capital, has led the St. Louis Cardinals ownership group since 1996. Under his stewardship, the Cardinals have been one of baseball's model franchises, winning World Series championships in 2006 and 2011 and maintaining a consistently competitive roster. DeWitt's emphasis on player development, scouting, and smart spending has kept the Cardinals relevant in an era of escalating payrolls, and his Ballpark Village development around Busch Stadium has been a major commercial success.
President
Bill DeWitt III, son of the managing partner, has served as the Cardinals' president, overseeing the franchise's business operations and strategic planning. His growing role represents the generational transition within the DeWitt family's management of the franchise, and he has been instrumental in the continued development of Ballpark Village and the team's digital and fan engagement strategies.

Historical Figures
Former Corporate Owner
Anheuser-Busch, the iconic St. Louis brewing company, owned the Cardinals for over four decades, making the team and Budweiser virtually synonymous. Under the stewardship of August Busch Jr. and later August Busch III, the Cardinals won World Series titles in 1964, 1967, and 1982 and featured Hall of Famers like Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, and Ozzie Smith. The brewery sold the team to the DeWitt group in 1996 as part of a corporate restructuring.
Former Owner
Sam Breadon presided over the Cardinals during their rise to National League prominence in the 1920s through 1940s, working with Branch Rickey to create the farm system concept that revolutionized baseball. Under Breadon's ownership, the Cardinals won six pennants and four World Series titles, establishing St. Louis as one of baseball's great cities.
