1901 â The visiting New York Giants drop a pair to the Cards, as John McGraw uses position players on the mound. Heinie Smith, primarily a second baseman, makes his only career start in game one and completes a 12 â 4 loss to the Redbirds. He bats 7th and hits a homer. Jim Jones also makes his only career start in the second match and loses 6 â 5 in a game called in the 6th inning because of darkness. Jones bats 2nd in game 1 and plays RF, and bats leadoff in game two going 0 for 4 in each.
