[edit] Biographical Information

Brother of Heinie Manush, Frank Manush was 18 years older than his brother and made his major league debut in 1908 when Heinie was seven years old.

Frank was a third baseman, given a chance because regular Jimmy Collins was in his last major league season. The A's ended up going with a 23-year-old named Frank Baker at third base the next season.

Frank Manush was with the Toledo Mud Hens in 1912.

One source says that there were seven Manush brothers, and all played professional baseball.
