Mizell Starts Strong But Faces Dizzy Dean Benchmark
Dizzy Dean notes that Vince Mizell of the Cardinals shows rookie promise but is far from matching Dean’s 1934 feats. Mizell opened with a 1-2 record and a 3-2 win over Philadelphia aided by limited support, while Dean’s hall of fame numbers loom large. The Browns rely on surging right-handed hitters and strong pitching from Bob Cain and Gerry Staley to stay atop. Brooklyn’s hot start is anchored by Robinson, Cox, Furillo, Campanella, and Snider's batting averages above .340.
