Making room for Jim Bottomley Cardinals trade Jack Fournier

Jack Fournier

On February 11 1923 — With rookie Jim Bottomley in the wings, the St. Louis Cardinals send first baseman Jack Fournier to the Brooklyn Robins in a trade for catcher Hy Myers. The veteran Fournier says he’ll quit if he has to move, but gives in and plays another five seasons. Fournier, with 22 home runs this year, will finish second in the National League, but his 20 stolen bases in 43 attempts – the 20th century worst percentage for anyone with 20 steals – will barely qualify him for the 20-20 club.
