Just a note for young Blue Jays fans out there who wonder who that guy is with the S. Tom Henke is what is known as a “Lights Out” closer. I know that may seem strange but that means that he efficiently gets the opposing side out with no drama.

I had to check to see if there was another Dean brother. It turns out that … uhmm… Dizzy Dean and Nelson Dean seem to be unrelated.
But there was a funny story about Dizzy. As a runner on first and an infield grounder, he slid into the way of the throw from second and the ball hit him in the head, knocking him unconscious.
They took him to the hospital and the next day’s newspaper headline was:
"X-ray of Dean's head reveals nothing."
Like Joe Garagiola would say, “if that story isn’t true, it oughtta be”.
