The Cardinal Cossack Or "Don't Call Me Ducky" The Story of Joe Medwick

by Thomas Barthel (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (4)
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. His campaign to receive his due from the electors of the Hall of Fame is also chronicled.
The book is an updated and revised version of 2003's The Fierce Fun of Ducky Medwick whose cover price was $85.

Thomas Barthel, after writing short biographies for the Dictionary of American Biography was an associate editor for the Red Sox newspaper "Die Hard." He has presented talks on his books at national conventions of SABR and at the Baseball Hall of Fame as well. His books have drawn the attention of both the New York Times and the New Yorker.

His Babe Ruth book marks his seventh full length volume, all deeply researched. For one of those books a reviewer Ron Briley in the journal "Nine," wrote "Barthel will delight those seeking a detailed chronicle of baseball in the 1930s." His books have been reviewed in "The Journal of Sport History," "Aethlon," "Elysian Fields Quarterly," and "Sports Collectors Digest" as well.

A graduate of the Master's writing program at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Barthel is a professor emeritus from the State University of New York. He lives in central New York.
