Red Schoendienst
Albert Fred "Red" Schoendienst (; born February 2, 1923) is an American Major League Baseball (MLB) coach, and former player and manager. An outstanding second baseman, he played for 19 years with the St. Louis Cardinals (1945–56, 1961–63), New York Giants (1956–57) and Milwaukee Braves (1957–60), and was named to 10 All Star teams. He then managed the Cardinals from 1965 through 1976, the second-longest managerial tenure in the team's history (behind Tony La Russa). Under his direction, St. Louis won the 1967 and 1968 National League pennants and the 1967 World Series, and he was named National League Manager of the Year in both 1967 and 1968. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989. Schoendienst remains with the Cardinals as a special assistant coach; as of 2015 he has worn a Major League uniform as a player, coach, or manager for 70 consecutive seasons.〔Schoendienst, Red: (Baseball Hall of Fame ) Retrieved September 7, 2011〕〔Megdal, H.

==Early life==
Schoendienst was born in Germantown, Illinois, approximately east of downtown St. Louis to Joe and Mary Schoendienst, one of seven children. His father was a coal miner, and the family lived without running water or electricity.
Schoendienst showed a marked aptitude for baseball a young age. In school he would handicap himself by hitting left-handed.〔 In 1939, at age 16, he dropped out of school to join the Civilian Conservation Corps, a major employment program within President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. While working on a fence he suffered a serious injury to his left eye. Most doctors recommended removal of the eye, but eventually he found one willing to pursue nonsurgical treatment. He endured constant headaches and years of rehabilitation.〔
After the eye injury Schoendienst found it very difficult to read breaking balls while batting right-handed against right-handed pitchers. To solve the problem he used the left-handed batting skills he had acquired as a youth to become a switch hitter. In the spring of 1942 he participated in a St. Louis Cardinals open tryout with about 400 other hopefuls. Though he was not signed at the tryout, Joe Mathes, the Cardinals' chief scout, later changed his mind and drove to Germantown to sign him for $75 a month.〔
