Call him the "Keymaster." Cardinals legend Red Schoendienst was immensely popular in the Midwest across the decades. So much so that he was bestowed the keys to several cities and towns. The largest of the set is a 40"-wide wooden key from the mayor of Vincennes, Indiana that was handed to the skipper of the eventual World Champion Cardinals prior to that memorable season and is still adorned with a red bow. There are also two from Jackson, Tennessee and one each from Creve Couer, Missouri and Progress, Illinois, all of which are brass. All five door-openers are in EX condition.
