Ed Bailey, 1931-2007
2007-03-24 18:47
by Bob Timmermann

Ed Bailey, a catcher mainly for the Reds and Giants over 14 seasons, passed away in Knoxville, Tennesee Friday.

Bailey made the NL All-Star team three times with the Reds and then, for reasons not entirely clear, was traded to the Giants early in 1961 for Bob Schmidt and Don Blasingame. Schmidt and Blasingame were both terrible for the Reds, who still ended up winning the pennant in 1961, despite receiving very little offense from its catcher. Bailey did play on the pennant-winning Giants team in 1962, but went 1 for 14 in the World Series.

Bailey's career record.
