Frankie Crosetti Stats by Baseball Almanac |
Frank Peter Joseph Crosetti was a Major League Baseball player who spent his entire 17-year career playing infield for the New York Yankees (1932-1948). The Crow, his nickname, actually began coaching for the Bronx Bombers in 1946, while still playing, and remained a third base coach with the Yanks until 1968!
Did you know The Crow participated in twenty-three Fall Classic with the New York Yankees, and collected a Major League record seventeen rings? The Crow earned eight World Series rings as a player (1932, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1941, 1943, 1947), then nine more while coaching (1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1962)!
Did you know that when The Crow struck out 105 times in 1937, it was the most strikeouts by any American League player that season (#2 Hank Greenberg)? Did you know that he reduced his strikeout total to 97 in 1938, but still struck out more often than any other player in the league (#2 Sam Chapman)?
Frank Crosetti was hit by 114 pitches in his career, the first New York Yankees player ever hit by 100-or-more pitches! The Crow once held the Major League record for most seasons (8x) leading a league in hit by pitch, since broken by Minnie Minoso (10x). Two Bronx Bombers reached the 100 HBP mark; Alex Rodriguez (104) and Jason Giambi (109), and one passed his franchise record - do you know who it was? [Answer]
