Another story from my Mississippi-born friend is he and his twin broth were in the small Mississippi town that Dizzy Dean lived in. The inquired how they could find Dean, and the resident said "He's easy to find. He drives a gold Cadillac." The brother eventually saw the gold Cadillac park outside a fried chicken place and waited for Dizzy to come out. Dizzy signed a piece of notebook paper for them on the hood of his Cadillac.
My friend has photos of many his autograph seeking excursions, including one inside the Hugh Hefner mansion, so his stories are often verified.
