This guy never gets spoken about anymore
Who is the one player on the stadium OF wall who's name or career you never heard anything about? Take a guess. Then if you want to read up on him, make sure you are sitting down.
Re: This guy never gets spoken about anymore
I don't know who you are referring to, but I am familiar with all of them. None of them are even slightly unknown or obscure.
Re: This guy never gets spoken about anymore
Yep, game 7 in 1946. Supposedly scored from first on Harry Walker's single, but actually it was a double by Walker. Nevertheless, Slaughter ran through the coach's stop sign at third to give the Cardinals a one-run lead (Red Sox SS Johnny Pesky was accused of freezing and not throwing home in a timely manner). Harry Breechen closed it out in the 9th for his 3rd Series victory. Good times.

Re: This guy never gets spoken about anymore
We can argue CT doesn't talk enough about Bottomley, Marion, Frisch, Martin, Moore, Bill White, Orlando Cepeda and maybe others.
However, Hornsby is mentioned consistently. At least every 2-3 months, especially when we are opining about the Cards' Mount Rushmore.

Celtic Jim, is that one of Shady's names? If not he must be Shady's partner, starting two threads about the same subject

Hornsby? The second greatest Cardinal of all time Hornsby? Anyone doesn't know who he is isn't a fan.
Re: This guy never gets spoken about anymore
This post, being the second in 2 days, regarding the same subject! Hmmm, it has Shades of Shady all over it....
