  7. ↑ "Taylor Douthit, one of two surviving members of the 1926 St. Louis Cardinals, the first Cardinal team to win the world Championship died of infirmities May 30, 1986 in Fremont, California. He was 85. Douthit, an outfielder, was signed after his graduation from the University of California, where he starred in basketball and baseball. Starting in 1923, he hit .308 in 1926, .336 in 1929 and .303 in 1930. Nichnamed "The Ballhawk" because of his defensive adilities, Douthit played centerfield for the pennant-winning Cardinal team in 1926, 1928, and 1930. He was traded to Cincinnati early in the 1931 season, another pennant-winning year for St. Louis. He finished his playing career with the Chicago Cubs in 1933 after he was slowed by an arthritic hip condition. Following his playing days, Douthit returned to California, where he operated an insurance business with his brother, Roland, also a former professional baseball player. Douthit's death left catcher Bob O'Farrell, 90, as the only survivor of the 1926 world champions."
