Ed Konetchy Newsbeat
Friday, February 08, 2013
Pittsburgh Press, February 8, 1913: [Ed Konetchy] asks for $7,500 in 1913, and it is reported that Manager Huggins was informed not to go higher than $5,500. Now comes [Arnold] Hauser with a suggestion that eclipses anything that a ball player has ever delivered.
...
“Well, if the club doesn’t want to give Ed his figure then I’m willing to start a subscription and raise the amount up to his price. If the other boys on the team will support me I’ll open the pool with a big sum from myself.”
I’m sure the rest of the Cardinals were totally jazzed about that idea.
