Secory's brief ML playing career was highlighted by a 2-for-5 pinch-hitting performance
for the Cubs in the 1945 WS. His 12th-inning single in Game Six helped spark the
game-winning rally for Chicago.
Secory was working a Cardinals' game when he called
Mike Shannon out at the plate. To "prove" that Shannon had been safe, manager Red
Schoendienst demonstrated by sliding into the plate himself. An unamused Secory sent
Schoendienst to the showers.
