That's a great Dizzy Dean story....thanks for sharing it with us. I have two follow-up thoughts to add to it.

1st....I am wondering if that event, or Diz's "corruption of the English language" shortened his stay at the
Sportman's Park broadcasting booth ? I say this, because I recall Dean joining Mel Allen at the broadcast-
ing booth when I was 10 or 11....so, that was in 1949 or 1950.

2nd....Also, I wonder if Dizzy motivated Ned Garver, who was a rookie for the Browns in 1948 ?
