. . . St. Louis Cardinals' "Gas House Gang" shortstop Rabbit Maranville.

Uh, not to flame you, but the shortstop for the Gas House Gang (1930s St. Louis Cardinals) was Leo Durocher. Maranville played for St. Louis for only two years in 1927 (12 games) and 1928 (112 games).

Whoa...you are correct. I guess I was thinking about the incident in which Maranville climbed out on the ledge of the team's hotel and scared the living daylights out of his Cardinal teammates, and extrapolated it to his entire career.
