Jay Hanna  Dizzy  Dean Autographed 3x5 Index Card
Offered here is an autographed 3x5" index card by Jay Hanna "Dizzy Dean". It's in a envelope, he signed it "Dizzy" Dean in black pen, and is near mint condition. * Dean was best known for leading the 1934 "Gashouse Gang" St. Louis team. He had a 30-7 record with a 2.66 ERA during the regular seasonThe Gashouse Gang was the southernmost and westernmost team in the major leagues at the time, and became a de-facto "America's Team." Team members, particularly Southerners such as the Dean brothers and Pepper Martin, became folk heroes in Depression-ravaged America. Americans 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 chased for the National League pennant. *
