Enos Slaughter
Cardinal player and baseball hall of famer from the late 1930’s to the early 1950’s. Notable in Red Sox lore for his “mad dash” from first base to score the go-ahead run on a single in the 9th of the 1946 series.
As Slaughter flew around the bases to score the winning run in 46' - some say that Johnny Pesky hesitated on the relay throw to home costing the Sox the game. Hoo-ey!
