October 8, 1934. Game 6. St. Louis Cardinals vs. Detroit Tigers
Wikipedia - "The Gashouse Gang was a nickname applied to the St. Louis Cardinals Major League Baseball team of 1934. The Cardinals, by most accounts, earned this nickname from the team's generally very shabby appearance and rough-and-tumble tactics. An opponent once stated that the Cardinals players usually went into the field in unwashed, dirty and smelly uniforms, which alone spread horror among their rivals. According to one account, scrappy shortstop Leo Durocher coined the term."
