Tough and gruff, outfielder Joe Medwick's competitive spirit typified the rowdy "Gashouse Gang"
Cardinals of the 1930s. Medwick, nicknamed "Ducky" because of his waddling gait, ended his 17-year
career with a .324 batting average. He also accumulated 1,383 RBI, topping the National League
three straight years. In 1937, he not only captured the National League Triple Crown, but also
led the senior circuit in nine other categories and was voted the loop's Most Valuable Player.
