Bio
Jesse Haines was a durable right-hander and
tough competitor who won 210 games during his 18 years with the Cardinals.
By adding a knuckleball to his pitching repertoire, he became an ace, achieving
20 victories on three occasions, and helping the Cardinals win five pennants
between 1926-‘34. He authored a no-hitter against Boston in 1924, and two
years later he defeated the Yankees twice in the World Series, tossing a
shutout and the Series-clincher.
