Johnny Mize
Inducted 2004
Is one of twenty former Red Wings inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and is considered one of the all-time greatest Red Wings to ever play during the Cardinals era. This slugging first baseman played parts of three seasons with the Red Wings (1933-35) with his best campaign coming in 1934 when he clubbed 17 homers, drove in 66 runs, and batted .339 while leading the Wings to the playoffs. "The Big Cat" went on to play fifteen years in the major leagues- a career interrupted by three years in the service during World War II- and finish with a .312 batting average and 359 home runs with the Cardinals, Giants and New York Yankees.
