Schlei, whose name sounded the same as that of a bluff, popular, and controversial Spanish-American War admiral, was a pretty good defensive catcher who went to the Giants in the three-way trade that sent Roger Bresnahan to St. Louis. (ADS)
FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
» July 24, 1905: Giant LF Sam Mertes makes an unassisted double play to help New York stop the Reds, 4-3, at the Polo Grounds. In the 2nd inning, the Reds have one out and a runner on 3rd, outfielder Cy Seymour, once a wild pitcher for the Giants. Mertes catches a short fly off the bat of George Schlei and continues running to double off Cy.

» December 12, 1908: The Cardinals are busy. First they get C Admiral Schlei from the Reds for pitchers Ed Karger and Art Fromme. Then they pack off Schlei, along with P Bugs Raymond and OF Red Murray, to the Giants for veteran catcher Roger Bresnahan. Bresnahan, a future Hall of Famer, will be the player/manager of the Cardinals for the next four years. Raymond lost 25 games in 1908, but a record 11 of them were by shutouts.

» September 6, 1909: In the holiday doubleheader at the Polo Grounds, the Boston Doves take the opener, 2-0 and New York wins the nitecap, 5-4. Christy Mathewson wins his own game for the Giants with a 10th inning triple to score Admiral Schlei.
