Joe Medwick
Portrait of Joe Medwick, left fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals. Diamond Stars series. Printed on front: "'Ducky' Medwick." Printed on back: "Diamond Stars, no. 66. 'Ducky' Medwick, the St. Louis Cardinal left fielder, is an agressive [sic] ball player, of the type from the older days. Like many of his teammates, namely the two Dean brothers, Frank Frisch, Pepper Martin, Leo Durocher, Bill Delancy, he is a spirited athlete and one of the reasons why the Cardinals came from behind the Giants last year to win the pennant and later the world's championship from Detroit in one of the most sensational series since the War. Combining a great throwing arm, shart hitting and good cruising range in the field he stands a chance to earn the League's 'Most Valuable' honor in some future year. Austen Lake, Boston American.
