Although his career was brief by baseball standards, Dizzy Dean was as famous as Babe Ruth when he pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1930s. Now, for the first time, Staten takes a close look at one of the most colorful players in baseball history.
This biography of Dizzy Dean, the great pitcher for the St Louis Cardinals in the 1930s and later a wonderfully popular radio and TV announcer for baseball. This bio pulls no punches and tells it like it was. Ole Diz was a lovable character, but had plenty of rough spots (as do we all). This book covers the times as well as his life. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in baseball and its colorful characters.
