St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina made a career out of beating the Chicago Cubs. Yadi made the postseason 12 times with the Cardinals and won the pennant four times over.

Molina had a .285 batting average versus the Cubs with more hits (243), walks (78), and even stolen bases (13) against Chicago’s North Side squad compared to any other team.

For what it’s worth, Yadier Molina enjoyed some big moments against the Chicago Cubs throughout his MLB career, hitting .285 with 18 home runs and 118 RBI against the cross-state foes.
