Sam Breadon Dead At 72 Former Cardinals owner dies in St Louis
Sam Breadon, 72, former president of the St. Louis Cardinals, died tonight of cancer at 7:15 p.m. He had been ill at St. John's Hospital since March 29. Breadon sold his stake in the Cardinals in 1947 for about 3 million dollars and had since been in real estate. He leaves a wife, a daughter from a former marriage, an adopted daughter, and a prior move from New York City to St. Louis around 1900. Under his 27 years of control the club won nine NL pennants and six World Series titles, and he helped introduce the minor league farm system with Branch Rickey.
