Frisch played 11 seasons with the Cardinals, 8 seasons with the Giants.
He was a better player overall for the Giants but he played 1,000 games for them vs 1,311 games for the Cardinals, and his only MVP season (in 1931) was while he was with St. Louis. (He also had a runner up MVP season for StL and a third place MVP season for NY.) He also managed St. Louis for six seasons (never managed the Giants.) So it seems reasonable that he's depicted wearing a Cardinals cap on his plaque.
