Slaughter, Enos Bradsher

Slaughter, Enos Bradsher
▪ 2003
“Country” 
      American baseball player (b. April 27, 1916, Roxboro, N.C.—d. Aug. 12, 2002, Durham, N.C.), had a lifetime .300 batting average and was a hero of the St. Louis Cardinals, for whom he played 13 of his 19 major league seasons. He was a hard-hitting outfielder who led the National League in hits in 1942 and in runs batted in 1946; played in 10 All-Star games, and was elected in 1985 to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was most renowned for his eighth-inning, two-out “mad dash” all the way from first base to home plate on a single, which scored the winning run—and won the world championship—for the Cardinals in the final game of the 1946 World Series; a bronze statue at Busch Stadium in St. Louis depicts Slaughter's great play.
