About Red Schoendienst
Card #512 falls in the sixth series. The photograph catches him working from the dugout, a manager's pose instead of a player's. The season standing behind it, 1966, was his second in the job: 83-79 and sixth place, better than the year before and still nowhere near the top. What the card cannot show is how close the turn was, with the same ballclub one winter from running away with the league.
Albert Fred "Red" Schoendienst, known as Red from boyhood for his curly red hair and freckles, was a switch-hitting second baseman who played 19 major league seasons from 1945 to 1963 for the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Giants and Milwaukee Braves. He made ten All-Star teams and had one of the surest gloves in the National League, retiring with a .289 average, 2,449 hits and 84 home runs. He led the league in steals as a 1945 rookie left fielder, hit a career-best .342 in 1953, won the 1946 World Series with St. Louis and the 1957 title with Milwaukee, then was diagnosed with tuberculosis after the 1958 season and lost part of a lung to surgery in February 1959. Released by the Braves after 1960, he came home to St. Louis and finished as a player-coach through 1963. He coached the 1964 champions, replaced Johnny Keane as manager for 1965, and led the Cardinals to back-to-back pennants in 1967 and 1968, winning the 1967 World Series over Boston and taking National League Manager of the Year honors both seasons. His twelve full seasons at the helm trail only Tony La Russa's in club history. He coached one more championship team in 1982 and reached the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989 through the Veterans Committee.
