Despite bis hitting prowess, Medwick still is best remembered for the 1934 World Series, when he was removed from the final game against Detroit by order of Judge Kenesaw Land-ithen the baseball commissioner. The Cardinals were leading when disgruntled Detroit fans in old Nevin Field, took out their fury by throwing a barrage of fruit and vegetables at Medwick as he moved to his left field position. Ihis followed an incident after Medwick slid hard into Marv Owen at third base. Medwick thought the Tiger third baseman came down on his foot, so he lashed out at Owen with his spikes. When fans refused to permit the game to be continued, Judge Landis ordered Medwick to the bench. Medwick, born in Carteret, N.J., in 1911, is survived by his wife, the former Isabelle Heutel, a son, Joe Jr. of Key Largo, Fla., and a daughter, Susan Medwick George of St. Louis. The body was to be flown back to St. Louis Thursday, where it will rest in the Michael Fitzgerald Funeral Home. troversy. One of the most aggressive players to ever play the game, the' righthanded hitting Medwick was the target of fruit and garbage from the Detroit Tiger fans during the seventh game of the 1334 World Series; was beaned by former teammate Bob Bowman in 1940, which took away some of his batting prowess: and finally was openly critical of the baseball writers, who waited until his last year of eligibility before electing him into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. "He was kind of hard to ignore," Walker said. "Once the writers got around to looking at his record there was no doubt he'd make it into the Hall.
