Dizzy Dean Refuses Apology in Frick Rift and Possible Lawsuit
St Louis Cardinals pitcher Dizzy Dean rejects a modified apology pledge and vows to appeal to Commissioner Landis after being suspended for conduct detrimental to baseball. Dean threatens a $250,000 suit against Frank Frick and the National League and plans to seek legal advice to protect his interests. The dispute centers on a balk call by umpire George Barr and a Belleville Daily Advocate quote calling Frick and others “the two biggest crooks” in baseball.
