Jay "Dizzy" Dean was born in Arkansas, but was a lifelong
resident of nearby Bond, MS. Dean was best known for leading the
1934 "Gashouse Gang" team. The Gashouse Gang became a de-facto
"America's Team," and became folk heroes in Depression-ravaged
America, who saw in these players, dirty and hustling rather than
handsome and graceful, a spirit of hard work and perseverance, as
opposed to the haughty, highly-paid New York Giants, whom the
Cardinals were chasing for the National League pennant.
Honors:
- All-Star, 1934-37
- Most Valuable Player Award ,1934
- Hall Of Fame, 1953
