Making room for Jim Bottomley Cardinals trade Jack Fournier
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.
It is Rogers Hornsby Day at Sportsman’s Park
It is Rogers Hornsby Day at Sportsman’s Park, and the Cardinal star celebrates by pounding out a home run and two doubles against Pittsburgh to lead the third-place Cardinals to a 12 – 4 win. Hornsby will go hitless in his last two games, dropping his final average to .397 for the year, still the best in the National League. Teammates Austin McHenry and Jack Fournier will be 2nd and 3rd in hitting in the circuit.
