Back in the ‘50s the Baseball Game of the Week with Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese, Schlitz was a big advertiser.

They always showed the Yankees every week.

My memory was it was Falstaff.

Never forget Dizzy making fun of hitters.

Dizzy was no slouch as hitter himself.

He’d say of .210 hitter, Pardner, that fella isn’t even hitting his weight.

I watch a lot of baseball and the Orioles have a statue regularly playing third who weighs 240 and I remember his batting average coming across the screen during a Yankee game last week and it was .157.
