Marion would then disappear from the major league scene for 7 years returning to the Senators in 1943 for 14 games. He’d go 3 for 17 at the plate with no extra base hits during his second stretch with Washington, his last major league game coming in mid-July.
Red Marion is the older brother of Marty Marion who would play for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1940 through 1950 and finished his career with the St. Louis Browns in 1952 and 1953.
