Some Thoughts On The 1934 World Series

The 1934 World Series, matching the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers, opened at Navin Field in Detroit, Michigan.

There were some great players involved on both teams, Joe “Ducky” Medwick of the Cardinals and Hank Greenberg of the Tigers to name two.

In game 7, an incident would take place with the Cards way out in front involving Medwick and Tigers’ third baseman Marv Owen.

In #1, Medwick had hits in first two at bats while Owen made an early error.

Marv Owen, pictured above, was an excellent third baseman on Tigers’ teams that won consecutive pennants in ’34 and ’35 and the World Series, the Tigers’ first after 4 W.S. defeats in 1935.
