Perhaps no other Hall of Famer embodies the team he played for more than Red Schoendienst. At 90 years old, he still participates in team activities to this day. He was a 10-time All-Star and won 5 World Series rings. He's the oldest living person to manage a World Series winner, and he came back to the post twice on an interim basis, bookending the Whitey Herzog era.

Had I planned things better, this would have made a great Veterans Day post.

Like Red, Enos "Country" Slaughter spent some playing years with other organizations. His most prolific years were spent wearing the Birds on the Bat, however. I know embarrassingly little about Slaughter beyond the fact that he was a terrific player with a terrific name who played for a terrific team.
