Terry Moore Keys Cardinal Speed and Form in 1936
Sports of Sorts notes Terry Moore appears faster and sharper for the St Louis Cardinals in 1936. The center fielder, with the team since 1935, is praised as the NL’s best at his position, their vital cog when healthy, with a history of overcoming an August beaning in Boston that pundits say could have altered the pennant race. Moore’s career path began in St Louis municipal play, signed in 1932, with stints in Elmira and Columbus before a 1934 rise.
