My grandmothers best friends were Dizzy Dean and his wife and her and Dizzy had an affair that lasted many years. My grandmother was not married so she was not cheating on her husband FYI. Dizzy was even in my parents wedding. It's a shame he died before I could have met him, my grandmother told me a ton of stories about what a great guy he was and the adventures they had.

Here is a fun fact for Bama fans. I have the program from Dizzys funeral and Bear Bryant was a pall bearer.
