The fierce fun of Ducky Medwick

Thomas Barthel

"In this first-ever biography of one of baseball's most cantankerous yet successful players, Barthel recounts the fascinating yarns that weave together the fabric of Joe Medwick's legacy to baseball. All the highs and lows of his career are replayed, including an in-depth examination of the famous game 7 of the 1934 World Series, when Medwick was barraged for seventeen minutes with fruit and trash. Packed with interviews of St. Louis and Brooklyn players and administrators of the 1930s and 1940s, along with conversations with Hall of Fame outfielder Enos Slaughter and Hall of Fame writer Bob Broeg, The Fierce Fun of Ducky Medwick is an insightful look at one of the top baseball players of all time."--Cover.
