A 1950s-era Hood's Dairy advertisement poster featuring Hall of Fame pitcher Dizzy Dean. The 19x27" poster has been framed and shows Dean throwing a pitch while two children look on. Also on the poster is an image of Dean's Hall of Fame plaque. The bottom of the poster reads, "Whether you 'slud' or 'slide'...ask for Hood's," making note of one of Dean's most famous quotes. Dean was considered to be one of the most colorful characters in baseball during his time, making him a sought-after pitchman. Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1953, Dean passed away in 1974 at the age of 64.
