All ballplayers want to wind up their careers with the Cubs, Giants or Yankees. They just can't help it.
Dizzy Dean

Anybody who's ever had the privilege of seeing me play knows that I am the greatest pitcher in the world.
Dizzy Dean

I ain't what I used to be, but who the hell is?
Dizzy Dean

I can't tell you why there's a delay, but stick your head out of the window and you'll know why.
Dizzy Dean

I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages. I hate statistics. What I got to know, I keep in my head.
Dizzy Dean

I was blessed with a strong arm and a weak mind.
Dizzy Dean

I won twenty-eight games in thirty-five and I couldn't believe my eyes when the Cards sent me a contract with a cut in salary. Mr Rickey said I deserved a cut because I didn't win thirty games.
Dizzy Dean

It ain't bragging if you can do it.
Dizzy Dean

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

Mr. Rickey, I'll put more people in the park than anybody since Babe Ruth.
Dizzy Dean


Practice, work hard, and give it everything you have.
Dizzy Dean

Son, what kind of pitch would you like to miss.
Dizzy Dean

The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing.
Dizzy Dean

The good Lord was good to me. He gave me a strong body, a good right arm, and a weak mind.
