The Joe Medwick description at the National Baseball Hall of Fame reads, "Tough and gruff, outfielder Joe Medwick's competitive spirit typified the rowdy 'Gashouse Gang' Cardinals of the 1930s."
In 1937 Joe Medwick hit thirty-one (31) home runs, drove in one-hundred fifty-four (154) runs, and batted .374 — each mark led the National League that season making him the last player from the senior circuit to win the Triple Crown.
Did you know that Joe Medwick was the first player to collect four hits during an All-Star Game when he tore up the plate during the 1937 Mid-Summer Classic?
