Dizzy Dean Quotations

The dumber a pitcher is, the better. When he gets smart and begins to experiment with a lot of different pitches, he's in trouble. All I ever had was a fastball, a curve and a changeup and I did pretty good.

Slud is something more than slid. It means sliding with great effort.

The good Lord was good to me. He gave me a strong body, a good right arm, and a weak mind.

Mr. Rickey, I'll put more people in the park than anybody since Babe Ruth.

Fans, don't fail to miss tomorrow's game.

I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages. I hate statistics. What I got to know, I keep in my head.

I'd get me a bunch of bats and balls and sneak me a couple of umpires and learn them kids behind the Iron Curtain how to tote a bat and play baseball.

Heck, if anybody told me I was setting a record (strikeouts in a game on July 30, 1933) I'd of got me some more strikeouts.

All ballplayers want to wind up their careers with the Cubs, Giants or Yankees. They just can't help it.

Anybody who's ever had the privilege of seeing me play knows that I am the greatest pitcher in the world.
