Can anyone explain why Dizzy's name is sometimes reported as "Jerome Herman Dean" and sometimes as "Jay Hanna Dean"?

Scoops
Dizzy also gave different birth dates and States of birth besides different names because he wanted to give subsequent reporters "scoops". Fake news in the 1930s !

Will be forever the last NL pitcher with 30 wins. No one is doing that.

Dizzy truly was one of a kind. I grew up watching Mark “The Bird” Fydrich and used to get kick out of his antics...talking to the ball on the mound, getting on hands and knees to sculpt the mound to his liking between batters, etc. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.

Jerome Herman
In western Arkansas dialect "Jerome Herman" sounds like "Jay Hanna".....Jerry

according to his SABR Bio he officially changed his name as a teen to honor a friend who died as a gesture to the mother. His birth name is Jay, he changed it to Jeorme. Had to get his dad's permission to do so.

My dad collected cards and some memorabilia when he was a kid, but most of it got thrown away shortly after he moved out of the house. That's something he still talks about to this day, mostly because his stuff was on a small shelf in the corner of a finished basement that was never used for anything else before or afterwards.
Anyway, one of the few things that survived was a Mickey Mantle Day program from 1965 that he had signed by Dizzy Dean and a few other announcers. Beautiful signature on it.
