  • Red Schoendienst Hand Signed Autographed Rawlings Baseball
  • Red Schoendienst (1923–2018) was a legendary second baseman, manager, and longtime member of the St. Louis Cardinals organization, with his association with the franchise ultimately spanning more than six decades. A switch-hitter known for his consistency and excellent defense, Schoendienst played 19 Major League seasons from 1945 through 1963, primarily with St. Louis, while also playing for the New York Giants and Milwaukee Braves.A 10-time All-Star, Schoendienst became the Cardinals’ regular second baseman during his rookie season and helped St. Louis capture the 1946 World Series championship. One of his finest seasons came in 1953, when he batted .342 with 200 hits. After being traded to Milwaukee, he helped the Braves win the 1957 World Series and return to the World Series in 1958.Schoendienst finished his playing career with a .289 batting average, 2,449 hits, 773 RBIs, and 1,223 runs scored. His influence continued after his playing days when he became manager of the Cardinals in 1965. He guided St. Louis to the 1967 World Series championship and another National League pennant in 1968.After his managerial career, Schoendienst remained with the Cardinals for decades as a coach, instructor, and special assistant, becoming one of the most enduring figures in franchise history. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989, recognizing a remarkable baseball career that included championships as both a player and manager.
