		Deacon Bill was what is known as "a sound baseball man." He was an unexceptional player; his knowledge of the game exceeded his physical ability.
		McKechnie obliged Cardinal owner Sam Breadon by managing the Cardinals to first place in 1928, but the four-game World Series loss to the Yankees led to his 1929 demotion to Rochester (International League), while Rochester's manager, Billy Southworth, took over the Cardinals.
		A baseball conservative, Deacon Bill was more effective with pitchers than hitters, although his shrewd coaching of Larry Doby at Cleveland (1947-49) hastened the youngster's adjustment to the major leagues.
