Dizzy
Dean's Last Glove
After "'Ol Diz" retired in 1941, he became
a radio announcer with the St. Louis Browns. In
1947, the Browns were a very bad team. On the last
day of the season the Browns were playing the Chicago
White Sox. Dizzy announced that he could pitch better
than any of the Browns pitchers. The Browns decided
to take Dizzy up on his claim. So, he put on a uniform,
took the mound and proceeded to throw four scoreless
innings of baseball.
This is the glove Dizzy used that day.
