Bond, Mississippi Information
Bond is an unincorporated community in northern Stone County Mississippi, United States. Dizzy Dean, elected to Baseball Hall of Fame and well-known sportscaster, was a resident after his retirement in the late 1960s; Bond was the hometown of his wife, Patricia Nash.[1] Dean's home in Bond was named Deanash, a combination of his name and his wife's maiden name; it was willed by Dean's wife to the Mississippi Baptist Convention, which operates foster homes for children in a rural setting.[2]
