BING DEVINE - Inducted in 1994 As the Red Wings' general manager from 1949 to 1954, Bing Devine helped steer the club to six playoff appearances, a pair of International League pennants, a Governors' Cup title, and its most successful season ever at the gate. In 1949, Devine's inaugural season at the helm, the team attracted a franchise record 443,536 fans to Red Wing Stadium. After a 1954 promotion to the front office of the parent St. Louis Cardinals, Devine was instrumental in coordinating the Red Wings' smooth transition to community ownership. By working closely with Morrie Silver and others, Devine helped to ensure the future of professional baseball in Rochester. Coming soon. |
