}}William Florine Sarni (September 19, 1927 – April 15, 1983) was an American professional baseball player who played as a catcher in the Major Leagues.[1] A native of Los Angeles, he played for the St. Louis Cardinals (1951–1952, 1954–1956) and New York Giants (1956).[1] Baseball careerSarni's professional baseball career began in {{Baseball year|1943}} at the age of 15 when he played for the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League.[2] In 33 games he went 19-for-83 (.229) with one home run and nine runs batted in.[2] Sarni led Texas League catchers with a .991 fielding percentage while playing for the Shreveport Sports in {{Baseball year|1948}}. He led American Association catchers with 597 putouts and a .989 fielding percentage while playing for the Columbus Red Birds in {{Baseball year|1950}}. Sarni made his major league debut with the St. Louis Cardinals on May 11, 1951 at the age of 23.[1] After hitting for only a .174 average during his rookie year, Sarni was sent back to the Columbus Red Birds in May 1952 in order to trim their roster down to the 25 player limit.[1][3] He posted a .277 batting average along with 8 home runs and 60 runs batted in during the {{Baseball year|1953}} season with Columbus and, earned a spot on the American Association All-Star team.[2][4] In October 1953, the Cardinals purchased Sarni from Columbus.[5] Sarni became the Cardinals starting catcher when Del Rice was injured during a play at home plate on June 7, 1954.[6] In 123 games he posted a .300 batting average with 9 home runs and 70 runs batted in.[1] He also led National League catchers with a .996 fielding percentage and 12 double plays.[7] One odd footnote from the 1954 season was a game in St. Louis on July 18 against the Philadelphia Phillies in which, both Sarni and Phillies catcher Stan Lopata played the game without wearing chest protectors because of the intense heat.[8] The Cardinals traded Rice to the Milwaukee Braves in June 1955 and, Sarni became their number one catcher.[9] Although his batting average dipped to .255 in {{Baseball year|1955}}, he was hitting above .300 in early June 1956 when, the Cardinals traded him to the New York Giants along with Jackie Brandt, Dick Littlefield and Red Schoendienst for Alvin Dark, Ray Katt, Don Liddle and Whitey Lockman.[10][11] Sarni took over as the Giants starting catcher and ended the year leading the league's catchers with 61 assists and 10 double plays.[12] During spring training in 1957 he suffered a heart attack that ended his playing career.[13][14] He was just 29 years old. The Giants kept him on by creating a coaching position for him.[14] In {{Baseball year|1958}} he signed a contract to coach for the Rochester Red Wings in the St. Louis Cardinals organisation then, resigned after one season to take up a career selling stocks and bonds for an investment firm.[15] Career statisticsIn a 5-year major league career, Sarni played in 390 games, accumulating 311 hits in 1,182 at bats for a .263 career batting average along with 22 home runs, 151 runs batted in and an on-base percentage of .313.[1] His lifetime fielding percentage was .991.[1] Sarni died at the age of 55 in Creve Coeur, Missouri.
