Item Description
Rare 2.25" with back paper by Steiner, St. Louis. This button was issued in 1928 to commemorate the Cardinals winning the National League championship two out of the past three years. The 1926 St. Louis Cardinals won the National League pennant with a record of 89-65 under National Baseball Hall of Fame player/manager Rogers Hornsby, one of the best hitters in baseball history. Joining Hornsby as fellow future Hall of Fame selectees were teammates: Grover Cleveland Alexander (SP), Jim Bottomley (1B), Chick Hafey (OF), Jesse Haines (SP) and Billy Southworth (OF). The '26 Cardinals would go on to defeat the mighty New York Yankees in the 1926 World Series. The 1928 St. Louis club would also win the National League pennant with a record of 95-59 under Hall of Fame manager Bill McKechnie and adding future Hall of Famers: Frankie Frisch and Rabbit Maranville. The '28 Cards lost the World Series that season to the New York Yankees. Only very minimal and tiny surface wear marks in reflected light. No stain, high gloss. Exc.
