October 10th, 1934 - World Series Game Seven

Cardinals Are World Champions of 1934 Baseball Season!

Dizzy Dean wins third game of Series, yielding only two runs. Medwick has key triple to power 4 run 5th inning.

Dizzy Dean may not have been the National League's Cy Young winner, but he proved himself perhaps the most important player in baseball this year when he pitched the St. Louis Cardinals to a seventh game win in the World Series. Dean was carried off the field after pitching the final out in the 9th inning (pictured).

Pitching on only a single day's rest, Dean yielded only 8 hits and two runs in a game he pitched through the end. The Tigers were able to score in the 7th on a solo home run by Goose Goslin and a basehit by Marv Owen to score Hank Greenberg. Other than that, they were largely ineffective against Dean.

At the same time, Tommy Bridges was unable to provide effective relief when he was called into action in the 5th, which proved to be the decisive at bat for St. Louis.
