Description

"Joe Medwick, Hall of Fame player, spent his professional life determined to excel. Angry at times at the mediocrity of others, Medwick's 17 year career in the majors included leading the league three straight years in RBI and also in doubles. He was the only player to be removed from a World Series game by the Commissioner. A selection in 10 All-Star games, in 1937 Medwick was the last player to win the Triple Crown in the National League. His beaning in 1940 led to the development of batting helmets. This book follows Medwick through childhood, the minors, the majors, managing in the minors, and teaching batting for the Cardinals. While a sportswriter might label him as "aggressive, truculent, even mean at times," great players such as Pie Traynor were known to say "I always regarded Rogers Hornsby as the number one right handed batter and I'll put Medwick number two." Some scribes couched their estimation by saying "Medwick had a reputation for truculence that was undeserved off the ball field," and Arthur Daley of The New York Times understood about Medwick's drive for excellence and hatred of mediocrity by writing "Superimposed on his physical assets was his flaming spirit." Medwick's campaign to receive his due from the electors of the Hall of Fame is also chronicled. "--Amazon.com
