The Gashouse Gang Synopsis

As brothers, Paul and Dizzy Dean have been rivals since they were kids. Now as an adult in 1934, Paul finally lands a spot on a professional baseball team, the St. Louis Cardinals – where his brother is already seen as a rambunctious icon. Paul is introduced to all sorts of oddball characters on the squad including Manager Frankie Frisch, former hobo Pepper Martin, horn-dog Ripper Collins, chronic gambler Leo Durocher, and team hothead Ducky Medwick. Paul is determined to break away from Dizzy’s shadow. After a slow start, the team starts clicking and becomes known for their wild shenanigans and globetrotter-like warm-ups. The nation starts taking notice and cheers on this rough-and-tumble baseball team. Together, the brothers lead the team to the World Series against the Detroit Tigers. It’s up to Paul to win Game Six in a do-or-die situation. Paul not only goes all nine innings, but he also hits in the winning run. He learns to accept Dizzy for his cocky bravado as they become baseball legends and symbols of inspiration during the Great Depression.
