St Louis' 'Gashouse Gang' are back in the World Series. Following victories in 1926 and 1931, and their fifth National League pennant in nine years, they are very much the favourites to earn their rings.

Facing them are the Detroit Tigers who are coming off a massive 101-53 season (that .656 record is a mark the club has never beaten to this day). It's no surprise that the two teams would push each other to a World Series Game 7.

Yet the 1934 Fall Classic has something even more unique. It is the only MLB game in history when the Commissioner of Baseball exercised their right to eject a player. With the Detroit crowd's hostility at the Cardinals' Joe Medwick due to a hard slide into third baseman Marv Owen growing, Medwick is assaulted by anything the crowd could throw at him. Commissioner Kenesaw Landis decided to throw Medwick out of the game for his safety and to calm the mutinous crowd.

It's a memorable game, and guiding you through it are NBC's Tom Manning, Ford Bond, and Don Wilson.
