Baseball player and manager

Biography

Marty Marion (1916-2011) was a Hall of Fame shortstop whose defensive wizardry helped the St. Louis Cardinals dominate the 1940s. Named a two-time All-Star and the National League’s Most Valuable Player, he remained humble about the spotlight, always quick to share credit with his teammates.

He later managed teams and mentored aspiring players, continuing to shape the game long after his playing days, and his legacy now rests at Valhalla Cemetery as an enduring touchstone for baseball fans.
