By 1932, he was the ace of the Cardinals staff In his first full season with the Redbirds, Dean went 18-15 while leading the league in strikeouts (191), innings pitched (286.0, shutouts (4) and batters faced (1,203). This was the first of four straight years that Dizzy led the National League in strikeouts. Ever the braggart, Dean predicted at the beginning of the 1934 season, that he and his brother, Paul, later dubbed “Daffy” by the media, would win 45 games between them, despite the fact that Paul had yet to pitch a single Major League gameIn 1934 Dizzy Dean led the NL with 30 wins, going 30-7, for a league leading .811 winning percentage, and also led in shutouts (7) and strikeouts (195) for the third straight year and was awarded the NL Most Valuable Player Award. And Paul, in his rookie campaign, won 19 games, easily topping the 45-game mark that Dizzy had predicted. He also was selected to his first of four All-Star Games. Most importantly, Dizzy led St. Louis to the National League pennant and then their third World Series championship in nine years and in franchise history. Dizzy, along with Pepper Martin was a leader of St. Louis’ famed Gashouse Gang that won the love and respect of the heartland, playing with grit and determination and appealing more to the everyman as opposed to living the glitzy life like so many New York players. He finished second in MVP voting the next two years.
