Dain Clay

Dain Elmer Clay was also known as “Ding-A-Ling” and “Sniffy.” He spent three years with the National A.C. team before joining Speed Bosworth’s Akron Yankee Jrs., a team of All-City players. During Clay’s two years with the Yankee Jrs., he batted over .400. Also during that time, he was voted the “Greatest Sandlotter” by the Times-Press. Clay signed a pro contract with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1938, starting a 17-year-long professional career. In terms of the baseball leagues Clay played in, he was well traveled: he played in the International, Three I, Texas, Pacific Coast, American Association, Southern and Western International Leagues. He led the Middle Atlantic League in two-base hits in 1939, tied for the lead in stolen bases in the Pacific Coast League in 1947, and led the Pacific Coast League in runs scored in 1948. As a major leaguer in the National Leagues, he played for the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds as an outfielder. The end of his career in the big leagues, however, came when he suffered an arm injury. Outside of baseball, Clay apparently liked to record motion pictures as a hobby. Clay also had a stint in the insurance business during the 1952 off-season. His father was General Chairman of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
