What Major League Baseball star was removed
from the seventh game of a World Series for his own protection? Hint; the Commissioner
of Baseball ordered his removal.

Game 7 1935 World Series. Cardinals
and Tigers.Sixth inning, Cardinals leading 9-0 ! Ducky Medwick triples and
slides hard into Tiger 3b Marvin Owen.
Owen retaliates by stepping on Medwick
and Ducky kicks Owen in the shoulder and
the fight is basically over.However,
when Medwick goes out in the bottom of the inning to play left field the Detroit
fans bombard him with vegetables, bottles and even lunchboxes ! He left the field, but upon his return the missles continued
so it was deemed appropriate by then
Commissioner Landis that Medwick be removed from the game for his own safety.

It was the 1934 World Series. The Tigers played the Cubs in 1935.

You're absolutely right, dude -
Both of my sources say 1934 and for some reason I typed in '35. Good catch !
