Between 1934 and 1936, the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals were two of the top teams in all of baseball. The Yankees still boasted the talents of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, winning the American League in 1936, while the Cardinals had the famed “Gashouse Gang” of 1934 that won the World Series. This offered baseball has been signed by 23 members of both the Yankees and Cardinals between 1934 and 1936.
