On June 10, 1952, the St. Louis Browns fire manager Rogers Hornsby, who had become unpopular with most of the team’s players. A few hours after he fires Roger Hornsby as the manager of the team, Browns president Bill Veeck is given a 24-inch silver trophy by his players with the engraved inscription,” …for the greatest play since the Emancipation Proclamation”. Veeck said‚ “I made a mistake. I thought Hornsby had mellowed.”
