Dick Hughes: The man with whom championships were a constant companion

  • Summary

  • It started with a state championship in high school and concluded with a World Series ring in 1967, with a slew of minor league crowns in between. Despite various setbacks, Dick Hughes pitched for one successful team after another, including the 1967 World Series champion Cardinals, in a season that he would lead the team in wins and be named The Sporting News Rookie of the Year. This spotlight is punctuated with excerpts from our interview with Dick and his wife Anne in which they share the ups and downs of his journey through professional baseball, all the while being one the very few Redbirds to have his entire career with St. Louis.
