Baltimore Orioles sell three of their stars including third baseman John McGraw

On February 11, 1900, the Baltimore Orioles sell three of their stars – third baseman John McGraw, catcher Wilbert Robinson, and infielder Bill Keister – to the St. Louis Cardinals. McGraw, the team’s player-manager, batted .391 in 1899, but the Orioles are being contracted out of the National League.
