From 1954 to 1969, the voices of the St. Louis Cardinals were defined by one of the most memorable broadcasting partnerships in baseball history: Harry Caray and Jack Buck . Calling games on KMOX , the pair became known as the “ Odd Couple ” of the radio booth. Their partnership lasted 14 seasons, blending two very different broadcasting styles.

His blend of size (6-2, 220 pounds), power, and vis

Dizzy Dean and Earl Averill discuss Dizzy's toe. During the 1937 All Star game, a line drive of Averill's bat broke Dizzy's toe. The injury led to Dean changing his pitching motion - which caused him to permanently damage his pitching arm. He was never the same again. How would you like to have this at the top of your rotation? I took the best 5-year-run of Dizzy (1932-1936) and Gibby (1965-1970 minus 1967/hurt) and combined them: 226 - Wins 242 - Complete games 3026 - Inning
