Biography

Jerome "Dizzy" Dean is regarded as one of the finest pitchers in baseball history. He took four consecutive strikeout titles, led the National League in complete games pitched for four straight seasons, and won two games for the Cardinals in the 1934 World Series--his brother Paul 'Daffy' Dean won the other two. Dean's career was brought up short in 1937 when he was hit by a line drive that broke his toe. He had to change his pitching style in order to keep off the broken toe, resulting in his causing permanent injury to his throwing arm. He spent the last years of his career with the St. Louis Browns, and retired in 1947 (after pitching a four-inning shutout).
