In 1933, Outfielder Hal Anderson (.272-3-62) was second in the league in stolen bases (32) and fifth in runs scored (109). He was a fixture in the American Association for 11 years (1926-36) six with St. Paul and six with Columbus, sandwiched around a brief 1932 stint with the White Sox (.250 in six games). He managed Asheville (Piedmont) and New Orleans for the Cardinals from 1937-40, then was out of baseball for four years. He scouted for St. Louis for a year then returned to Columbus to manage the Red Birds in 1947-48-49, getting to the playoff final round in 1948.
