Blades was an intelligent, aggressive reserve player for most of his 10 ML seasons, and he hit .300 in each of his three seasons as a starting outfielder for the Cardinals (1924-26). After managing in the Cardinals farm system in the mid-1930s, Blades managed the parent club to 92 wins and second place 1939, but was replaced when the Cardinals sputtered early in 1940. (FS)
