Dizzy Dean Fake Ball TrickThis is the Pastball Podcast, a podcast that gives you a daily baseball history story faster than the amount of time you can run around the bases, and I'm your host, Matt. Dizzy Dean's Fake Ball Trick. In the 1934 World Series, Dizzy Dean, a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, famously executed a trick play involving a fake baseball. During game seven against the Detroit Tigers, Dean, known for his colorful personality, pretended to throw a pitch with the second ball he had concealed in his glove. The Tigers runner on first base, Mickey Cochran, was fooled by the fake throw and took off for second base. However, Dean still had the ball in his possession and easily tagged him out. The clever deception by Dizzy Dean and the Cardinals became known as the Dizzy Dean fake ball trick and remains one of the most memorable moments in baseball history.
