Walker and Mort Cardinal stars courted by Giants
The Giants pursued Cardinals pitchers Walker and Mort as part of a major deal offering $25,000 cash rather than ivory. The Cartlins long dominated pennants with the Walker–Mort battery from 1942 to 1944. A salary dispute last April sought $15,000 each to report for the opener. Walker later appeared in four games before entering the navy, while Mort was traded to the Braves for cash and Red Barrett.
