1952 Topps #91 Al Schoendienst
About Al Schoendienst
Albert Fred "Red" Schoendienst — nicknamed for his red hair — was a Hall of Fame second baseman born February 2, 1923, in Germantown, Illinois. After an eye injury in the Civilian Conservation Corps, he learned to switch-hit, signing with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1942. Over 19 seasons (1945–1963) with the Cardinals, New York Giants, and Milwaukee Braves, he batted .289 with 2,449 hits and earned 10 All-Star selections, famously homering in the 14th inning to win the 1950 All-Star Game. He won World Series titles as a player in 1946 (Cardinals) and 1957 (Braves, after a midseason trade). Managing the Cardinals from 1965 to 1976, he led them to National League pennants in 1967 and 1968 and the 1967 world championship. Elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1989, he had his No. 2 retired in 1996. This is his second-series 1952 Topps card.
