Dizzy Dean Funny Story [View all]

In Game 4 of the 1934 WS Dean was tasked to be a pitch runner. While running between 1st and 2nd Dean was hit in the head by Tiger's SS Billy Rogell who was attempting to complete a DP. Dean was knocked out cold by the throw and was carried from the field.

This incident led to the fabled headline in the newspaper the next day: "X-RAYS OF DEAN'S HEAD SHOW NOTHING."
