Remember That Guy: Steve Trout

Steve Trout's father was Dizzy. Seriously. Paul Trout was a major league pitcher from 1939-52 and again for two games in 1957. His nickname was Dizzy. In fact, Trout, not Dean, was the Dizzy with the most career wins - 170 to 150.

Steve was born in 1957 - the year his father returned to the majors for two final games with the Baltimore Orioles. He was born in Detroit, which is where Dizzy had his best seasons. Steve grew up in the Chicagoland area while his father worked in the White Sox front office (Dizzy died when Steve was in eighth grade), and the White Sox drafted him eighth overall out of Thornwood High School in South Holland in 1976.
