Pepper Martin, the fast running rookie of the St. Louis Cardinals, plays along as a policeman pretends to reprimand Martin for speeding before Game 3 of the World Series against the Philadelphia Athletics at Shibe Park in Philadelphia, Pa., in this Oct. 5, 1931 photo. Martin was a fun-loving baseball throwback, perpetrator of countless practical jokes, the engine of the St. Louis Cardinals Gashouse Gang, a gregarious, life-of-the-party sort of guy. Maybe that's why Fidel Castro liked him so much. (AP Photo)
