Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese

Saturday afternoon baseball.
You're dating yourself again.
Unless you just "barely" remember. :>)

Diz was asked "What's the hardest hit ball you've ever seen?"

He said "A line drive that went through the pitcher's legs that the centerfielder caught."

"Saturday afternoon baseball."


I loved Pee Wee and Dizzy!
I used to watch it with my Grandaddy.
He taught me baseball's finer points.

Daddy taught me about football.

Don't go there. ;o)

Oh, baseball was a regular happening around our house, but I don't remember if he had any special teams or anything. I was very young, but I do remember hearing Dizzy calling the games. My Daddy had a friend, last name of Reese, who his friends called "Pee Wee" . Not the same guy though. ;o)

When Daddy was younger, he and some other guys at Hercules formed a softball team and he played a lot. That was before I was born, I think. I don't have any memories of him playing.

Friday night fights were also a popular thing in our house. I can hum the theme song right now. They were sponsored by Gillette!
