Dizzy and Paul Dean -
On Sept. 21, 1934, St. Louis' Dizzy Dean pitched a three-hit shutout against the Brooklyn Dodgers in the first game of a doubleheader. His brother Paul then threw a no-hitter in the nightcap. "If I'd known you was gonna throw a no-hitter, I'd thrown one too!" Dizzy said to his brother after the game. The Cardinals needed both wins to edge the Giants for the NL pennant.
