“I showed up here today…” There are moments in history that just feel bigger than a photograph — and this is one of them.
In this classic 1934 ballpark scene, I found myself right alongside two of baseball’s biggest names of the era — Dizzy Dean and Joe Medwick.
Now I’ll be honest… I don’t remember getting the call to join the team ๐
But somehow, there I was — right in the middle of it.
๐งข The Legends Beside Me
Back in 1934, the St. Louis Cardinals were one of the toughest teams in baseball.
- Dizzy Dean — confident, fearless, and one of the most dominant pitchers of his time
- Joe Medwick — a powerhouse hitter who could change a game with one swing
These weren’t just players — they were icons of the game.
⚾ A Moment Frozen in Time
No big production.
No flashy setup.
๐ Just a simple moment — three men on a field, captured forever.
And somehow, I ended up right there with them.
๐ง Why I Love These Snapshots
This is what I enjoy most about going back into these old photos.
It’s not just about history —
๐ it’s about stepping into it.
Placing myself into these moments makes it feel real… like I was there, sharing the same air, the same field, the same time.
๐ Final Thought
Standing next to legends like Dizzy Dean and Joe Medwick…
๐ I’d say Mr. B held his own just fine.
And if you look close enough, you might just believe it too. BJ
Here is a clip of Dizzie Dean,I call him the Muhammed Ali of baseball. Watch the clip and you will see why! Original picture and Video Clip....
