Cardinals Future Bright
The Cardinals were good in all aspects of the game in 1934 but the pitching down the stretch of the Dean brothers (Dizzy and Paul) was phenomenal. In the middle of September (16th) they pitched both games of a doubleheader against the first place Giants and before a crowd of 52,573 at the Polo Grounds they won 5-3 and 3-1.
Dizzy and Paul Toss Gems
Five days later, on September 21, Dizzy throws a 3-hitter against the Dodgers in the first game and Paul follows with a 3-0 no-hitter in the second game.
September 30 the Cardinals clinch the pennant as Dizzy pitches a 9-0 shutout of the Reds at home for his 30th win of the season.

Gashouse Gang
“The Gashouse Gang” (source) was a nickname applied to the Cardinals team of 1934. The Cardinals, by most accounts, earned this nickname from the team’s generally very shabby appearance and rough-and-tumble tactics. An opponent once stated that the Cardinals players usually went into the field in unwashed, dirty, and smelly uniforms, which alone spread horror among their rivals.
According to one account, scrappy shortstop Leo Durocher coined the term. He and his teammates were speaking derisively of the American League, and the consensus was that the Redbirds – should they prevail in the National League race – would handle whoever won the AL pennant. “Why, they wouldn’t even let us in that league over there,” Durocher, who had played for the New York Yankees, observed. “They think we’re just a bunch of gashousers.” The phrase “gas house” referred to plants that manufactured town gas for lighting and cooking from coal, which were common fixtures in US cities prior to the widespread use of natural gas. The plants were noted for their foul smell and were typically located near railroad yards in the poorest neighborhood in the city.
Led by playing manager Frankie Frisch and the hard-nosed Durocher, as well as stars like Joe Medwick, Ripper Collins, Pepper Martin, Bill DeLancey and brothers Dizzy and Paul Dean, the ’34 Cardinals won 95 games, the NL pennant, and the World Series in seven games over the Detroit Tigers.
Four All-Stars
The team featured five regulars who hit at least .300, a 30-game winner in Dizzy Dean and four All-Stars, including player-manager Frisch. Not among the All-Stars was Collins, the first baseman who led the team in 16 offensive categories, with stats like a .333 batting average, a .615 slugging percentage, 35 home runs, and 128 runs batted in.
The 1934 St. Louis Cardinals home / road splits for the regular season were 48-29 (0.623 winning percentage) at home and 47-29-1 (0.618 winning percentage) away.

Trouble at Game 7
In the final game of the World Series, the Cardinals are leading 11-0 when the commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis removes Joe Medwick from the game for safety concerns. Earlier in the game, Medwick slide high with his spikes up into third baseman Marv Owen and the fans didn’t take kindly to it in Detroit. They began throwing bottles and garbage at left fielder Medwick.
