Paul Dean played for several years alongside his more famous brother, Jay "Dizzy" Dean who was also a pitcher. Because of his brother's nickname, Paul also had a nickname, "Daffy", but this did not reflect his personality; he was considered quiet and serious. Together, Dizzy and Paul pitched in the 1934 World Series for the St. Louis Cardinals, which they won after seven games.
