Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Gashouse Gang by John Heidenry Verdun2's Blog Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Gashouse Gang by John Heidenry Verdun2's Blog. Well, I’m back from high school graduation. She made it through. We made it there and back. Along the way I picked up a book to read in down time. It’s called “The Gashouse Gang”, it’s by John Heidenry, and here’s a quick review of it. The book is a look at the 1934 St. Louis Cardinals, who won the World Series that year with one of the more colorful teams ever. The book concentrates more on the players than on the games. It centers around Dizzy Dean (naturally) and occasionally you forget that there were other players on the team. Heidenry sees Dean as intelligent and manipulative, a classic con man who can pitch. There are a dozen or so episodes in the book centering on Dean that make him come alive as a person. There are also sketches of general manager Branch Rickey, of manager Frankie Frisch, and of a handful of the players. The sections are uneven in that the comments on Joe Medwick are more in-depth than the comments on Ernie Orsatti. The same is true of other players. The players Heidenry finds most fascinating (or maybe that he can find the most info on) range over several pages. These include players like Paul Dean (who apparently hated being called “Daffy”), Pepper Martin, Medwick, and Leo Durocher while other players like Rip Collins, Spud Chandler, and the non-Dean pitchers get only passing reference. Jack Rothrock is almost invisible. There is also a nice, but short, sketch on Sam Breaden, the owner. Heidenry spends the better part of a chapter trying to determine where the moniker “Gashouse Gang” came from. He finally decides that the New York papers came up with it in 1935, the year after the Cards won the Series. He also spends a couple of chapters on the 1934 World Series (against Detroit) with a nice character sketch of Mickey Cochrane thrown in as a welcome bonus. All in all it’s a good book and worth the read if you’re a fan of 1930s baseball. It’s even better if you’re a fan of the Cardinals. The book was published in 2007 and is available in paperback at Barnes and Noble. It retails for $17.99. Share this: Like this: Related.

The Gas House Gang was a term given to the St. Louis Cardinals teams of the early 1930s, especially the championship 1934 World Series victors. The nickname was given to them as a way of describing the enjoyment with which they seemed to play the game, along with the aggressive attitude they took that always seemed to give them dirty uniforms, making them resemble the grease-stained clothing worn by car mechanics. Prominent members of the Gas House Gang included Frankie Frisch, Joe Medwick, brothers Dizzy Dean and Paul Dean, Ripper Collins, Leo Durocher and Pepper Martin. The last surviving member of the team, Don Gutteridge, died in 2008. Further Reading [ edit ] Charles F.

The 1934 St. Louis Cardinals are considered one of the greatest teams to ever go onto a baseball diamond. It took 73 years before an author, John Heidenry, finally gave the team known as The Gashouse Gang the immortalization it deserves. The Gashouse Gang had some legendary characters: Pepper Martin, Leo Durocher, and Dizzy Dean. You learn a little bit about Martin and Durocher in The Gashouse Gang. You’ll be learning a lot about the last one, because The Gashouse Gang is so centered around Dizzy Dean that it might as well be a biography of him. That and his brother, Paul. Branch Rickey shows up in The Gashouse Gang a lot too, but he is of course relegated into the background, which I guess is an understandable move. After all, Rickey is only the guy who forever changed the face of the entire damn sport two separate times! Okay, maybe that observation about Rickey in Heidenry’s book is a little bit unfair. He was the owner of the team, after all, and Heindenry and an essential part of any Magic Season chronicle is the buildup explanation – the culmination of conditions which resulted in the season at hand. And the St. Louis Cardinals, despite their legions of fervent worshippers, have always been a rather low-budget operation. At least, they’ve been comparatively low-budget when compared to the big-spending powerhouses, but one way or the other they’ve always been a model franchise. They’ve been successful in every aspect of baseball. On the field, only the New York Yankees have ever won more titles than the ten possessed by the Redbirds, and their 17 Pennants place them among baseball’s most dominant teams of all time. If they had a top five – or maybe even a top ten – budget, it’s scary to think of just how powerful the Cardinals could have been. As far as the Magic Season trope goes, The Gashouse Gang is pretty generic. Even with the presence of Dizzy and Paul Dean – Diz being one of the funniest and most colorful characters to ever stand atop a pitcher’s mound – The Gashouse Gang is really, really played down. It doesn’t present us with any of the small-time incidents that would make the team come off as fun, loose, or rowdy as baseball mythos leads us to believe, and that is a massive strike against The Gashouse Gang. The Gashouse Gang should have been a better – or at least a more fun – book than it is. I can’t think of a lot of other baseball books that I wanted to like as much as I did this one. The Cardinals are one of my favorite National League teams, and so I’m pretty steeped in their legacy and was looking forward to being regaled with anecdotes unique to this amazing powerhouse. But the execution of The Gashouse Gang, aside from revolving almost solely around one player, is blase. It’s like one of those summer popcorn movies that you don’t remember ten seconds after stepping out of the theater. During the initial buildup to the 1934 season, The Gashouse Gang reads like a good overview. Heidenry writes brief biographies of a handful of the important players on the team, and more in-depth biographies about Rickey and the Dean brothers. After Around the third or fourth chapter, the team overview takes a holiday as the zoom lens focuses in on the brothers Dean. The REAL shame of The Gashouse Gang is that you don’t learn very much about them, either. Heidenry leaves you with the unfailing fact that Dizzy was the definite star of the team. But as far as the descriptions of Dizzy’s on-field antics go, Bill Lee’s book Baseball Eccentrics contains more details about the Dizzy Dean we all know and love. We get a glimpse of the Dizzy Dean who wittily claimed he was marrying a woman who had slept with half the city because he was one of the people she slept with (the marriage, by the way, lasted for 43 years despite her reputation) and the Dizzy Dean who rebelled halfway through the season, trying to go on strike because he felt like he wasn’t being paid enough. Heidenry writes at one point that his teammates saw him as a good guy with a penchant for mischief, and that’s how he comes off, even in spite of his apparently constant feuding with Branch Rickey.

    MEDIA CLIPS – May 4, 2018 Ottavino's slider among NL West's best pitches AJ Cassavell / MLB.com | May 3, 2018 For the better part of the past decade, the National League West has been home to a host of baseball's elite arms. Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Madison Bumgarner have spent plenty of time at the pinnacle of the sport. Robbie Ray, Jon Gray and Joey Lucchesi are among league's the best youngsters. The pitchers in the NL West are great. And, naturally, so are the pitches they throw. With that in mind, MLB.com took an in-depth look at the signature pitch for each team in the division. Some were obvious. Some were surprising. All were filthy. D-backs The pitch: Zack Godley's curveball How he uses it: A lot. In fact, no pitcher in baseball has thrown a curveball more frequently than the 198 times Godley has used his this season. That increase in usage has effectively turned him from a No. 5 starter to a front-of-the-rotation type arm. What it does: Baseball features plenty of curveball specialists with big, looping breaking pitches that are deceptive because they change the pace. Not Godley. His curve gets on hitters quick. So much movement at such high velocity is precisely what makes Godley's curve extraordinarily difficult for hitters to pick up. 1 What they say: "It's one of the best curves I've ever seen. It looks like a cutter, then all of a sudden, it disappears." - - Giants outfielder Gregor Blanco Statcast™ fact: Godley's curveball has averaged 81.7 mph this season.

  • Los Gigantes De Nueva York De Bill Terry Tuvieron Otra Buena
    1934 Los Gigantes de Nueva York de Bill Terry tuvieron otra buena temporada en 1934 anotando 760 carreras y permitiendo 583, el menor de la liga, pero no fue suficiente para obtener el banderín de la Liga Nacional. El joven Mel Ott bateó para 0.326 con 119 carreras anotadas solo superado por Paul Waner (con 122), recibiendo 85 bases por bolas y empató con Ripper Collins en cuadrangulares con 35. El manager-jugador Bill Terry fue segundo en bateo con 0.354 detrás de Waner (0.362) anotando 109 carreras. Jo Jo Moore bateó para 0.331 y cruzó el plato en 106 ocasiones. Hal Schumacher ganó 23 juegos (23-10,3.18 CLP) y Carl Hubbell tuvo marca de 21-12 con el título de carreras limpias permitidas de 2.30. Pero fueron los Cardenales de San Luis quienes se llevaron el título de la Liga Nacional. La competencia estuvo bastante interesante pues los Gigantes quedaron a dos juegos del primer sitio. Nueva York había sido el líder durante más de cuatro meses hasta que al final las cosas se le complicaron. Sucedió el 28 de septiembre que Dizzy Dean (30-7, 2.66 CLP) de los Cardenales blanqueó a los Rojos de Cincinnati para empatar con Gigantes en el primer lugar. Al siguiente día Paul Dean (19-11, 3.43 CLP), el hermano menor de Dizzy, vence 6-1 de nueva cuenta a los Rojos mientras que los Gigantes perdían con los Dodgers de Brooklyn. Un día después el mismo Dizzy blanquea otra vez a los Rojos 9-0 dando una ventaja a su equipo que jamás perdería.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
