The Giants paid the Braves $100,000 for McQuillan. As a third starter, he helped New York capture three consecutive NL pennants (1922-24). The deal, made on July 30, 1922, a few days after a controversial Yankee-Red Sox trade, led to the adoption of a June 15 trading deadline which stood for decades. (JL)
