|
Billy Southworth (D. 1969) isn't the best known Cardinals manager, but no one ever had a better run helming the team. Southworth managed parts of 13 seasons in the Major Leagues, including seven seasons over two stints in St. Louis. He was player-manager for 90 games in 1929, then presided over the dominant Cardinals teams from 1940-1945. Those teams won three pennants and two World Series titles, and in Southworth's five full seasons as Cardinals manager, the team averaged nearly 102 wins per year. He died in 1969 and was elected to the Baseball HOF in 2008.
Offered is a fantastic gpc signed by Billy Southworth that he also wrote “Boston Braves” under his signature. Postmarked from 1950 and addressed to infamous collector, Ralph Winnie.
