1934 World Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1934 World Series matched the St. Louis Cardinals against the Detroit Tigers, with the Cardinals' "Gashouse Gang" winning in seven games for their third championship in nine years.
The Cards and Tigers split the first two games in Detroit, and Detroit took two of the next three in St. Louis. St. Louis proceeded to win the next two, including an 11-0 embarrassment of the Tigers in Detroit to win the Series. The stars for the Cards were Joe Medwick, who had a .379 batting average with one of St. Louis' two home runs and a series-high five RBI, and the Dean Brothers, Dizzy and Paul, who combined for all four of the teams wins with 28 strikeous and a minuscule 1.43 earned run average. 1934's World Series was the last of which both teams were led by player-managers.
Managers: Frankie Frisch (St. Louis), Mickey Cochrane (Detroit)
Umpires: Brick Owens (AL), Bill Klem (NL), Harry Geisel (AL), Beans Reardon (NL)
