Dizzy Dean singing "Wabash Cannonball" on youtube
 

A friend forwarded this to me today; I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

I clicked on the link to find out what a Wabash Cannonball is and why was Dean 'signing' it. Could it be an old baseball? His favorite mitt? A well worn bat? It turns out that I misread the post and it was a pleasant surprise to hear that Ole Dizz could sing pretty well too. Still entertaining the masses into 2012...and Hee Haw takes me back a few. Thanks for posting friend.

Thanks to this (great!) clip, I've been watching Hee Haw videos for the past hour on YouTube reliving my childhood.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I remember Dizz singing that song on I believe a Monday night baseball game over the PA system. I used to love listening to him in the broadcast booth, a very entertaining character to be sure.

super!!! many,many thanks!
I remember watching him announce when i was a boy and thinking that he
really got into Wabash after the stretch and a few too many Falstaff commercials---and Falstaffs.
He and pee wee reese were great together.

Thanks for posting this. Brought back great memories of Diz broadcasting games on TV.

Hee Haw Reruns
 

Hee Haw reruns are the highest rated shows on RFD-tv. It's on Directv and perhaps on cable systems.

Dizzy Dean was on a couple of times. They also have had Mickey Mantle and a very young Johnny Bench with a bad mustache, some outrageous pants, and even a segment where he sings.

Good stuff. Hee Haw is like wearing an old comfortable shirt.
