Person: James Otis Crandall (October 8, 1887 – August 17, 1951) was a right handed pitcher and second baseman. He was the first player to be consistently used as a relief pitcher. Consequently, he was given the nickname Doc by Damon Runyon who said Crandall was "the physician of the pitching emergency". He played from 1908 to 1918, first for the New York Giants, and then briefly for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1913 and than the Federal League with St. Louis from 1914 to 1916. Person: Frederick Carlisle Snodgrass (October 19, 1887 - April 5, 1974) was an American center fielder in Major League Baseball from 1908 to 1916 for the New York Giants and the Boston Braves. He played under manager John McGraw and with some of the early greats of baseball including Christy Mathewson. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Otis_Crandall en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Snodgrass

The closes thing to Major League baseball to us was the Cardinals and the Browns. I guess that why we could get their broadcasts in my home town of Dallas, Texas, back in the early 1940's. If my daddy could have a team then i could pick my own. There was a baseball board game made by caddco Ellis(SP) called baseball allstar game. I saw a card with the name Johnny mize. He became my hero. He was a giant. I read and reread the history of the Giants. nammes like Christy mathewson,and Frankie Frisch. Mell ott and the great left hander Carl Hubbell. I was hooked. A Texas boy was a Giant Fan!

Excellent. But, Crandell and Hartley both played for the New York Giants and the Polo Grounds was the home field of the Giants. You have a tag that indicates New York Yankees. Not sure if the LOC added that tag or someone else did, but it's wrong.
