I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who had been a key player in the 1945 season?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Longtime infielder/manager Phil Cavarretta, who had been a key player during the '45 season, was fired during spring training in 1954 after admitting the team was unlikely to finish above fifth place.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
