Bob O'Farrell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Arthur "Bob" O'Farrell (October 19, 1896 – February 20, 1988) was a major league baseball catcher who played for 21 seasons on four National League teams, including the Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants. O'Farrell also played for the Cincinnati Reds, albeit briefly.
He won the National League Most Valuable Player award in 1926. That same year he led the Cardinals to their first World Series championship, defeating the mighty New York Yankees in seven games, by throwing out Babe Ruth trying to steal second base for the last out of the 1926 World Series.
Bob O'Farrell was born and died at Waukegan, Illinois.
