Selected in the first round the 15th overall by the New York Yankees in the 1977 MLB Draft, Willie McGee was traded to the Cardinals in 1981 against the pitcher Bob Sykes. He was assigned by the Cardinals to the AAA club of the Louisville Redbirds, but was quickly recalled, and made his debut on the 10th May 1982 in Cincinnati, subsequently taking part in 123 regular season games, and completing his rookie season with a batting average of .296, 125 hits and 56 RBIs; he finished 3rd in the poll to elect the Rookie of the Year in the National League, and took part in his first World Series that year, which the Cardinals won against the American League champions Milwaukee Brewers.
