Paul. They were "Dizzy and "Daffy".
I was a big fan of the Cardinals when I was growing up in St. Louis in
the 1930's and 1940's. I was a member of the "knothole gang" which
gave kids free admission to games, so I could, conceivably, go see a
major league game for less than a dollar: $0.20 cents for round trip
street car fare and perhaps a hot dog and a small drink and a box of
Cracker Jack.
Sorry. I should have read the rest of the mail before answering. My
father had an offer from that team. He didn't think he was good enough
so he turned them down to go to school (University of Oklahoma). When he
was 50, he could still pitch better than any high school kid I played
against.
