Charles Evard "Gabby" Street (September 30, 1882 – February 6, 1951), also nicknamed "The Old Sarge", was an American catcher, manager, coach and radio play-by-play broadcaster in Major League Baseball during the first half of the 20th century. As a catcher, he participated in one of the most publicized baseball stunts of the century's first decade. As a manager, he led the St. Louis Cardinals to two National League championships (1930-31) and one world title (1931). And as a broadcaster, he entertained St. Louis baseball fans in the years following World War II.

However, on August 14, 1908, Street achieved a measure of immortality by catching a baseball dropped from the top of the Washington Monument, a distance of 555 feet (169 metres) – after muffing the first 14 balls, he made a clean reception of No. 15. In addition, Street was fabled as an early catcher and mentor of the American League's nonpareil righthanded pitcher, Walter Johnson.

After Street’s playing career ended, he managed in the minor leagues before joining the Cardinals' major league coaching staff in 1929. It was a year of turmoil for the defending NL champs: they replaced '28 skipper Bill McKechnie before the season with Billy Southworth. Then, when Southworth couldn’t get results, they brought back McKechnie in midyear. At the close of the 1929 season, McKechnie left to manage the Braves and Street became manager.

The Old Sarge promptly led the Cardinals to consecutive National League pennants. In 1930, they won 92 games and finished two games in front of the Chicago Cubs. But in the 1930 World Series, they faced the defending world champion Philadelphia Athletics and lost in six games. In 1931, Street’s Cardinals won 101 games and bested the New York Giants by 13 games. Then, in the 1931 Series against those same A's, pitchers Wild Bill Hallahan and Burleigh Grimes dominated and Pepper Martin had 12 hits, batted .500, drove in five runs and stole five bases to lead the underdog Redbirds to a seven-game world championship against the last Connie Mack dynasty.

Unfortunately for Street, the Cardinals faltered in 1932, winning only 72 games and finishing tied for sixth, 18 games out, and had improved only to fifth in July 1933. Street was dumped and replaced by his second baseman, Frankie Frisch. He managed in the AA American Association for a couple of seasons, then made a return to the Mound City as skipper of the 1938 St. Louis Browns. The habitually bottom-feeding Brownies finished seventh in an eight-team American League, winning only 53 games. The '38 season put a cap on Street's major league managerial career. In all or parts of six years, he won 365 and lost 332 (.524). The following are the baseball events of the year 1932 throughout the world. ...
