"DIZZY AND DAFFY DEAN
Jay and Paul Dean, born in Arkansas, became the most famous brother duo in baseball history. As pitchers for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1934, they won a combined 49 games to lead the Cards to victory in the World Series. From 1932-1937, the colorful outspoken “Dizzy” was the NL’s greatest picture. Both often came to Hot Springs coach at the town’s nationally known baseball school.
