| Dizzy Dean Family
Photo This is the only known photograph
of pitching great Dizzy Dean and his family. It
was taken on May 13, 1923, seven years before Dizzy
first pitched in the Major Leagues. Dizzy is upper
left, his brother Elmer is center and his other
brother, Paul “Daffy” Dean, is upper
right. Dizzy and Paul pitched the 1934 “Gashouse
Gang” Cardinals to the championship, winning
49 games between them, as Dizzy boldly predicted
they would. At bottom left is Dizzy’s wife,
Mrs. Jerome Dean. Center front is A.M. Dean, father
of the Dean brothers and next to him is Mrs. Paul
Dean.
