Frankie Crosetti
Portrait of Frankie Crosetti, shortstop for the New York Yankees. Diamond Stars series. Printed on front: "Frank Crosetti." Printed on back: "Diamond Stars, no. 86. Frank Crosetti, Yankees, one of a steadily increasing number of Italian-American boys coming into the major leagues. Crosetti is the best Yankee shortstop since the time of Everett Scott, the little iron man whose record of consecutive games was recently broken by Lou Gehrig. Crosetti and Tony Lazzeri form the all Italian keystone combination for the Yankees, a double play team that is equalled only by Detroit's Rogell-Gehringer duo. Joining the Yankees in 1932, Crosetti helped his team to a pennant and then to a World championship in which the Yankees beat the Cubs in four straight games. Austen Lake. Boston American. Frank P.
