[edit] Biographical Information
Louie Heilbroner was business manager for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1900 when manager Patsy Tebeau resigned on August 18. Team owner Stanley Robison approached third baseman John McGraw to take over, but he declined. Robison then appointed Heilbroner to lead the team. He had some difficulty asserting his authority, because of his small size and lack of playing experience. It seems that McGraw was really calling the shots in any case.
After his brief career behind the bench, Heilbroner moved into publishing and would become the author of the first National League Blue Book.
