Meet The Manager...Solly Hemus. As a player/manager, Solly Hemus appeared in 24 games, mostly as a pinch-hitter in 1959 before concentrating on his managerial responsibilities. His Cardinals were inconsistent with a seventh place (71–83) finish in his rookie managerial campaign (1959). It was followed by a 15-game improvement (86–68) and a leap to third place in his second season (1960). The Redbirds followed with a poor start in 1961 and were stuck in sixth place in July (at 33–41) when Solly was replaced by one of his coaches, Johnny Keane. His career major league managing record was 190–192 (.497). He then served as a coach with the New York Mets (1962–1963) and Cleveland Indians (1964–1965).
