Rickey worked for Breadon until the end of 1942 and enjoyed wide-ranging authority, but Breadon always reserved the right to choose the team's field manager. In addition to Hornsby, he would select men such as Bill McKechnie, Billy Southworth, Gabby Street, Frankie Frisch (obtained from the Giants in the Hornsby trade) and Eddie Dyer to run the Cardinals' bench. With one exception, all won world championships for St. Louis. The exception, McKechnie, was the Cards' losing skipper in the 1928 World Series, and he would be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962 for his credentials as a manager. (Hornsby and Frisch were elected to the Hall of Fame on the strength of their brilliant playing careers, and in 2008 Southworth would enter the Hall posthumously for his managerial success.)
