The 1931 St. Louis Cardinals season was the team's 50th season in St. Louis, Missouri and the 40th season in the National League. The Cardinals went 101-53 during the season and finished first in the National League. In the World Series, they beat the Philadelphia Athletics in 7 games.
Last year, we featured a chalk ware version of this statue. This is the rare cast iron prototype made for that piece.There are spots of paint loss throughout and a crude repair to the side of the ball. It stands about 11.5" tall and has embossed lettering on the ball and base. It is very heavy. It still colorful and displays nicely. We believe that this may be a "one of a kind piece".
