Episode 414 - Joe Medwick Is Just Ducky
Episode 23
Thursday, 23 July, 2026
Though not talked about much today, there was a time when Joe Medwick seemed like he might become an inner circle Hall of Famer. And never more than 90 years ago this week, when he collected 10 straight hits over the course of three games. Mike and Bill look back at the man they called Ducky (very much against his wishes), and are surprised by his rapid decline after turning himself into one of the most dominant players in the game's history. Plus, happy birthday to Bob Meusel and Denis Menke! And farewell to Eddie Haas and Bob Lacey.
