Who wore No. 2 for St. Louis?

Today’s question: This St. Louis Cardinals second baseman wore No. 2 for nearly all of his career, which spanned from 1945 until his trade to Milwaukee in 1956. He has nearly 1,800 hits with the club while playing in 1,795 games. Who is this 10-time All-Star?

Yesterday’s answer: Butch Reed and Ron Simmons. They were brought in by the Steiner Brothers. Doom competed in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and were managed by a “corrupt” referee turned manager Teddy Long.
