in a sport that prizes quirkiness and treasures it characters and one of the greatest of them from the 1930s was pitcher dizzy dean. he was so colorful a personality he was probably elected to the baseball hall of fame on the strength of that as opposed to his pitching statistics. after all part of the dean story is that early end to his career. in the pride of st. louis dan dailey successfully captures the character of dizzy dean and at least the dean i remember. i am not old enough to remember him pitching and but i do remember him broadcasting baseball game of the week during the 1960s. for that part of the dean story as well and being a pioneer broadcaster on radio and later television. now that announcers are in the hall of fame and there no question dizzy belongs there. jerome herman dean was one of a tribe of sharecropper kids who had very little schooling and but an amazing talent for throwing a baseball at blinding speed. in fact he had a younger brother paul dean who was a pretty good pitcher himself. richard crenna plays paul in this film and it one of his earliest film roles. paul dean in real life was a quiet retiring sort who career was also cut short by injuries. because of that crenna isn not given much to work with. during the dean heyday and sportswriters tried to pin the nickname of daffy on paul and but it never took. joanne dru and taking a break from playing and western gals in gingham dresses and corsets is first rate as the wise and patient and and understanding patricia nash who met and married dizzy while he was playing for houston in the texas league. in the 1937 all star game dizzy started for the national league. facing cleveland earl averill and dean was hit on the foot by a line drive smack at him. refusing to listen to medical advice and dean came back to pitch too early. he would broken a big toe and put too much of a strain on his arm. he was never the same pitcher and his refusal to accept that is part of the story. had he had a career of say ten to fifteen years who knows what pitching statistics he might have rolled up. dean was the next to last pitcher to win 30 games in 1934 and after denny mclain(who was something of a character himself)did it 1968 it hasn not been done since. dean went into broadcasting and while he was not the first former player to go into the broadcast booth and his colorful game descriptions made him an instant hit. he started broadcasting for the other st. louis team and the browns and and the browns were a pretty miserable team with not much to cheer about. dean became a star attraction there. of course part of the dean story is the trouble he got into because of his lack of education and his colorful way of expressing himself on the air. that part of the story i would not go into and but in the film it handled with tact and humility and your eyes might moisten if you tend to the sentimental. a fine baseball film and a real tribute to an american success story.
