Back when he and Peewee Reese hosted the Falstaff Game of the Week he sent a shout out over the airwaves to my older brother who was dying of cancer. He also sent my brother an autographed baseball which I still have. Some time later, after my brother had passed away, my dad and I bumped into him at a grocery store in Jackson. We introduced ourselves and he took time to visit with us. Dizzy remembered my brother, asked about him, and expressed his condolences when we told him my brother had passed away. He was a colorful character to be sure but in my book he had a heart bigger than most.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-46840125942794254772019-02-23T13:50:35.096-06:002019-02-23T13:50:35.096-06:00What an old battle-ax she must have been.

She was a strong lady and Dizzy did listen to her. They were a wonderful couple and people!<br /><br />When I remember they stayed with us for a few days while their house was being remodeled. My Dad and Mom let them sleep in their Master Bedroom. My younger brother got up in the middle of the night and climb in bed with thinking it was mom and dad. As luck would have it he wet the bed soaking Dizzy. My Dad for years would say son you’re the only person that ever peed on Dizzy Dean and got away with it.<br /><br />I can still hear his laughing and Him saying ”pawdner” = partner!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-10857019818108121482019-02-22T17:22:22.007-06:002019-02-22T17:22:22.007-06:00Dizzy made that glass of Falstaff look good even t...Dizzy made that glass of Falstaff look good even though he couldn't take even a sip on camera.
