Konetchy played for the Cardinals from 1907 to 1913, and he had two .300 seasons, and he led the NL in Doubles in 1911 (38). He was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1914, but that stay was only one year, as he was one of the many players to bolt for the short-lived Federal League, playing one season for the Pittsburgh Rebels.
Konetchy came back to the NL, playing for Brooklyn, again providing plenty of Hits and above-average defense at First.
Konetchy was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies during the 1921 Season, and he retired afterward with 2,150 career Hits and a respectable .281 Batting Average.
