#85 Solly Hemus There is a story that when Solly was traded from the Cardinals, he wrote a heartfelt letter to Gussie Bush, then owner of the franchise. Essentially, Hemus thanked Mr. Bush for having him on the Cardinals. Gussie was quite taken with the letter, which helped Hemus gain the managerial position for the Cardinals later on. His tenure was unsuccessful and he was replaced by Johnnie Keane during the 1961 season.
