Drew Baur co-owner of the Cardinals died this morning in Jupiter, Fl. He had a massive heart attack. I remember back in 1995 when DeWitt and Company bought the Cardinals. As I watched the news about the Cardinals new owners when the story broke, it was fun to see Baur wearing Cardinal Red and smoking a cigar. I can tell the new owners would keep the team in town and put together some fun baseball for Cardinal Nation. Drew will be missed. "He was passionate about Cardinal baseball, no question about it, up until the very end, up until yesterday," said John Wallace, a minority owner of the team and friend of Baur.
The Country Day School graduate, most recently was the chairman of Southwest Bank of St. Louis, but spend many years prior with both County Bank of St. Louis and Commerce Bank of St. Louis.
"Drew had it all. Success in business. He made the city better and the country better and certainly his friends better. He'll be just unbelievably missed," Wallace added.
Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said, "Drew loved the Cardinals and was a great partner."
Drew Baur is survived by his mother, three children, seven grandchildren, and numerous friends. Funeral arrangements at still pending.
