[edit] Biographical Information
Bill Ludwig, from Louisville, KY, was the first-string catcher with the 1908 St. Louis Cardinals.
Ludwig was not a strong hitter either in the majors or the minors, but had a professional career that extended from 1901-14 which indicates that he must have been an esteemed defensive backstop.
