Former Blues David Backes and Garry Unger were named winners of the Bob Plager Legends Award on Monday night at the 2021 Jack Buck Awards.
The awards are held annually at the Missouri Athletic Club in downtown St. Louis.
The Legends Award was first presented in 2001 but was renamed for Plager after his passing last March. The award is given to a St. Louis sports personality who is deemed to have had an overwhelmingly positive impact on the community.
