Left-handed pitcher Harry Brecheen joined Major League Baseball’s St. Louis Cardinals for a brief stint in 1940, rejoining the club for good in 1943. He would remain a Redbird for the entirety of his Major League career excepting for his last season, spent with St. Louis’s American League club, the St. Louis Browns (1953). With the Cardinals, Brecheen was a two-time World Series winner and was named to two All-Star teams. The Broken Bow, Oklahoma native led the National League in strikeouts and earned run average in 1948, compiling a lifetime 133-92 win-loss record, 901 strikeouts and a 2.92 ERA. After retirement, he followed the Browns when they relocated to Baltimore and became a long-term pitching coach for the team, now known as the Orioles.
