    DIZZY DEAN BASEBALL “FUN, CHARACTER, WINNERS” By: Billy J. Powell Commissioner ‐ 97/98 Dizzy Dean Baseball is not for coaches, parents, or spectators. Dizzy Dean Baseball is for the youth that play the game. One of the greatest outlets for youth is baseball. As a professional, Dizzy Dean played baseball for the love of the game and with the enthusiasm, intensity and energy of the youth that play the game today. He played because it was fun. We must continue to make baseball a fun game without placing undue pressure and stress on our youth. Our youth come first, winning second. When you build the character in a youth, you build a winner. There was no organized baseball in Arkansas while Dizzy Dean was growing up and he was denied the opportunity to play baseball as a young boy. It was Dizzy Dean’s dream that one day every young person would have the opportunity to play baseball. We, the National Board of Directors of Dizzy Dean Baseball, Inc., are dedicated to giving our youth this opportunity and promise to provide them with the best baseball program available today. This was Dizzy Dean’s dream; this is what Dizzy Dean Baseball is about.
