translate English to German: Rogers Hornsby replaced Rickey to become a player-manager, and in 1926 , his first full year as manager, he led the Cardinals to their first World Series championship. Rickey rewarded Hornsby by trading the fiery leader and star second baseman to the New York Giants for Frankie Frisch , who would spend a decade anchoring second for the Cards.
In den 1950er Jahren arbeitete Rickey dann noch als General Manager bei den Pittsburgh Pirates , dort allerdings blieb ihm der große Erfolg versagt.
