Who is the best all-time second baseman for the Cardinals? Roger Hornsby, a two-time Triple Crown winner? Frankie Frisch, who set a record for most assists in a single season (643) that still stands today?
Tommy Herr? Red Schoendienst? Among others who should be in this conversation is Julian “The Phantom” Javier, who played more games at second than any other Redbird (1960-1971). He was a key figure in the World Series championships of ’64 and ’67 and the pennant crown of ’68.
While it was his glove that provided the most value for his team, his penchant for clutch at bats helped make him at two-time All-Star and this episode’s unsung hero.
