Dizzy

Dizzy Dean (1910-1974), was a major league baseball pitcher and CBS sportscaster renowned for colorful commentary. While Dean never resided here, his father, stepmother and two brothers moved to a farm N of Garland ca. ‘40, and he eventually owned Dallas County property himself. Frequent visits made Dizzy a familiar fixture to old timers downtown, as well as local cronies with whom he enjoyed recreation.
