The 1934 "Gashouse Gang", St. Louis Cardinals played a hard, gritty style and never avoided a confrontation, whether it was on the field, in a hotel lobby or even in their own clubhouse. They even fielded a terrific hillbilly band known as the Mississippi Mudcats, featuring "Pepper" Martin on guitar and Dizzy Dean on harmonica. This is the harmonica played in the band. It was obtained directly from the Dean family from famed collector, Barry Halper.
