YOU WILL BE GETTING THIS ITEM AT A STEAL FOR ANY COLLECTION, OR ANY RESALE IF YOU DEAL IN SPORTS MEMORABILIA. Lewis Sidney Riggs (April 22, 1910 - August 12, 1975) was an American third baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals (1934), Cincinnati Reds (1935-40), and Brooklyn Dodgers (1941-42 and 1946).
He helped the Cardinals win the 1934 World Series, the Reds win the 1939 National League pennant and 1940 World Series and the Dodgers win the 1941 NL pennant. He was named to the 1936 National League All-Star team. His eighth-inning pinch single off Red Ruffing scored teammate Cookie Lavagetto in the opening game of the 1941 World Series, before Ruffing and the New York Yankees held on for a 3-2 victory. Riggs never quite achieved the same level in his baseball career after leaving the Dodgers in 1942 in order to serve his country in the Army Air Force during World War II.
