The former St Louis Cardinals star spent nine seasons with the team between 1962 and 1970 before going on to have a legendary broadcast career. In 1964, he helped the team win their seventh title as a right fielder with Shannon, before he moved to third base and defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-3 to win their second title. After being diagnosed with kidney disease nephritis (which he suffered with for a long battle with), he retired in 1970 as he approached 40.
