These quotes come from the Hall of Fame pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals, Dizzy Dean. "Deanism", as they have become known, produce a perfect example of how witty, and brash this great pitcher of the 1930's and 1940's was. Dean is the last National League pitcher to win 30 games in a season, and was the ace of the 1934 World Champion, St. Louis Cardinals nicknamed the "Gas House Gang".
"It ain't bragging if you can do it."
"Let the teachers teach English, and I will teach baseball. There is a lot of people in the United States who say isn't, and they ain't eating."
-Dizzy Dean was often criticized for not using proper English during his years as a broadcaster, but that didn't stop people from tuning in just to hear what he would say next.
