  1. Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me--my great, great grandfather was Michael Joyce O'Neill of the St. Louis Cardinals in the early 1900s (he had three brothers in baseball, as well), and I've been searching for his card but am having difficulty. Does anyone know where or how to look? Thanks so much for your time and help!
