1934 Tex Carleton World Series Game Used Glove
Tex Carleton won 100 in his career as a starting
right-handed pitcher, most notably for the hard-playing,
St. Louis Cardinals “Gas House Gang”
and then, the Chicago Cubs. The 1934 Cardinals,
led by Dizzy and Paul Dean, Frankie Frisch, Joe
Medwick, Pepper Martin and Leo Durocher, won the
World Series in 1934 beating the Detroit Tigers,
4 games to 3. This is the glove Tex was wearing
when he started Game 4 of the Series and relieved
Dizzy Dean in Game 5. To think, this glove saw action
during the glory days of the Gas House Gang is truly
exciting. Tex also used this glove when he started
Game 4 of the 1935 World Series, again vs. the Detroit
Tigers (he lost a heartbreaker, 2-1). The glove
saw it’s final World Series game in 1938,
when Tex pitched in Game 4 vs, the victorious New
York Yankees.
Along with the glove is Tex’s personal,
1934 Cardinals, team-signed baseball and two tickets
to the ’34 Series, for Games 3 and 4, probably
for his wife.
All of these pieces, had been for years upon
display at the museum at Ameriquest Field in Arlington,
texas, home of the Texas Rangers and were in the
possession of Tex’s cousin.
