1958 Back-O'-The-Card: Frankie Crosetti

Frankie was the greatest shortstop in Yankee history before Phil Rizzuto. In Game 2 of the 1938 World Series, with the Cubs leading 3-2 in the eighth and the great Dizzy Dean pitching, Frankie homered with a runner on base to give New York its margin of victory.
The Crow was part of six Yankee World Championships as a player and seven more as a coach. He's always willing to advise a Yankee rookie on how to have a winning attitude while wearing the Pinstripes.
