Berger the shortstop flop to giants to world series cut
Wally Berger, a Giant teammate of Bartell's, started as a shortstop in the A C M Mines league but failed at the role. His early dismissal by manager Alex Remneas sent him to Pocatello and then the Coast league, where Boston and later the Giants gave him a chance. After a 24 homer first season with Boston, sickness and discontent led to a 1937 trade to the Giants, profiting from a world series share while Remneas gained little from the venture.
