Gutteridge broke in with the Cardinals in 1936 and played with them through 1940. He didn't play in the majors in 1941, but resurfaced with the Browns in 1942 and was their starting second baseman for the 1944 pennant winner.
Once World War II was over, Gutteridge had to take a reserve role with the Red Sox and got to play in the World Series again in 1946, and again his team lost to the Cardinals. Gutteridge played a handful games with the Pirates in 1948.
I believe there's another member of the 1944 team who's alive as well. I can't find any information that he's deceased....his name is Bud Byerly, from Webster Groves. He was a pitcher and did play in the 3rd game of the Series.
