One hopeful who came from the St. Louis suburb of Creve Coeur was the fifa 15 coins kind of energetic, hustling, confident ballplayer Rickey always favored. His name was Clarence “Heinie” Mueller, and his first meeting with the Cardinals leader became the stuff of legend. Brought into the team offices by Charley Barrett, Rickey asked Mueller how he would de- scribe himself as a hitter. “Better than Babe Ruth!” the confident young- ster replied. “How would you describe your running speed, young man?” Rickey asked. “Faster than Ty Cobb, Mr. Rickey,” Mueller answered. “Judas Priest!” Rickey exclaimed. “I don’t know about Judas Priest, Mr. Rickey,” came Mueller’s unadorned reply. “I never saw him play.”

Another raw recruit came from the southern Illinois mining town of Nokomis and was so poorly dressed that his feet were sticking out of his shoes. Early in his career the Sporting News identified the player only as “J. Bottomly [sic],” but he quickly caught the eye of Barrett and Rickey. They were prepared to like him because Bottomley (the correct spelling) had handwritten a polite but obviously confident letter: “I am nineteen years old and I love to play ball.” It was a letter that Charley Barrett kept as a souvenir for the rest of his life.19 Jim Bottomley was a coal miner’s son whose younger brother had been killed in a cave-in after serving in World War I.20 Working as a blacksmith’s apprentice, Bottomley played semipro ball in the mining area, and Barrett spotted his sweet, left-handed-hitting stroke, which reminded the scout of Charley Grimm, a product of the St. Louis Irish neighborhood sandlots known as the “Kerry Patch,” who was briefly a Cardinal before he was let go in 1918.

Barrett and Rickey saw the potential in the almost comically awkward athlete. Signed for a small bonus, Bottomley struggled in his early months as a pro, but in August 1922 he arrived in the Majors as a reserve first baseman. By 1923 Bottomley established himself as a Cardinals regular for the next ten years. He finished with career numbers of a .310 ba and .510 ab and was elected into the baseball Hall of Fame in 1974. Aware of the mental stresses in the game of baseball, Bottomley once observed that the best way to stay on an even keel is for a team not to get involved in many streaks. If you won 3 and lost 1, and won 2 and lost 1, Bottomley suggested, you would have one hundred wins and a successful season.

Another signing from the first tryout camp at Cardinal Field was out- fielder Ray Blades, whom Rickey and Barrett had followed from his days as a teenaged pitcher in Mount Vernon, Illinois, just outside St. Louis. Converted to an outfielder to utilize his great fleetness of foot, Blades would become a regular in the Cardinals outfield from 1924 to 1926, and a consistent .300 hitter. Unfortunately, his career was shortened when he broke his leg on a wire fence at Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field, chas- ing down a line drive.22 Once his playing days ended he became a loyal Rickey coach in both St. Louis and Brooklyn and managed the Cardinals in 1939 and part of 1940. A devoted exponent of Branch Rickey’s hus- tling brand of baseball, Blades once observed that the most tired player on any baseball team should be the right fielder because he backs up the most plays.
