The Pride of St. Louis

Jerome Hanna 'Dizzy' Dean from the Ozarks has the gift of gab. He's also a pretty good baseball player. He would rise up to be a Hall of Fame pitcher for almost two decades in the Major Leagues and later as a broadcaster after a career ending injury. He pursues Patricia Nash who becomes his wife. During an early outing, he almost gets a perfect game but for one home run. After the home run, the opposing team taunts him as Dizzy.

Dizzy is well before my time. I've heard of the guy but don't know anything about him. It's an amiable character but the drama is extremely low. It's a lazy, easy day at the park just like watching baseball nowadays. I can certainly understand his appeal with his friendliness. The audience who love Dizzy would love this movie. As a person who knows nothing, it's a rather flat drama with a likeable lead.
