[edit] Biographical Information

Frankie Crosetti holds several longevity-related records. He holds the New York Yankees club record for service to the club. He was a player from 1932 to 1948 and their third base coach from 1949 to 1968. "Crow" also coached the Seattle Pilots and Minnesota Twins before retiring in 1971.

Crosetti won so many World Series rings, 7 as a player, and 10 as a coach, that the Yankees began giving him engraved shotguns instead of rings. In all, Crosetti was on the field in 23 World Series.

Crosetti was suspended for the first month of the 1943 season after an altercation with umpire Bill Summers in the 1942 World Series. In 1944 he didn't join the Yankees until July 5, due to his war job.
