A picture ( or two ) says a thousand words ::
Frankie The Crow Crossetti at Spring training camp in St. Pete , F L A , 1936:
http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...SECOND_NEW.JPG . ..And then ten years later , this gem appears in the 1946 Sports Exchange series and winds up in my Hank mancave : ..http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...RG_NEW_001.JPG .Coolest job in the world in those days had to be the sports pages photographer . Batboy was awesome too I imagine. ..It's nice to stumble across stuff like this ; the clipping is from a kid's thick homemade scrapbook of nothing but the 1936 baseball season , in amazing detail. I'm passing it on to Tim N , for his reference department . Hi Tim. .. |
Love the poses. I really like the Greenberg one...

Not sure why Cronin is reaching with his non-glove hand, but it’s a stretch none-the-less:
