In 1932 he led the National League in strikeouts and pitched the most innings. Jerome Dean was born in Holdenville, Okla., in 1911. He is 6 feet, 3-3/4 inches tall and weighs 189 pounds. He began professional baseball in 1930 in St. Joseph, Mo., and after playing in Houston, Texas, came to the Cardinals in 1932. He bats and throws right-handed.
