Schmidt was up with the Cardinals for brief trials in 1952-53, stuck in 1955, and went 10-3 (5-0 as a starter) at his best in 1957. That winter he was sent to Cincinnati in a deal for
Curt Flood. Schmidt (
April 26, 1959),
Frank Thomas, and
Brady Anderson are the only three major league players to have been hit by a pitch twice in the same inning. (
