Slim Sallee began his Major League career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1908, and the Pitcher played for the Redbrids until he was traded to the New York Giants during the 1916 season.

The southpaw had three 15-win years with St. Louis, tallying 106 against 107 Losses.  Sallee started and finished his share of games, twice leading the National League in Saves twice as a Cardinal.  His versatility was unheralded in his day, but is certainly recognized here.
