[Page Stephens]

Which brings up the old story about Dizzy Dean who was once reputed to have
said when he broadcast Cardinal games something like, "The reason that ...
is so good is that he has guts. Now I know that some of you school marms out

terms. The reason ... is so good is because he has testicle fortitude."
