Player Biography
Known as “The Fordham Flash,” Frankie Frisch jumped directly from Fordham University to the New York Giants, and played on eight pennant winners in 19 seasons. A switch-hitter, Frisch compiled 11 straight .300 seasons and retired with numerous fielding records for second basemen. Remembering Frisch, writer Damon Runyon wrote, “Tell ’em most especially about the way Frisch played second base, some of centerfield and a slice of right field, too.” As player-manager (and later, manager) of the St. Louis Cardinals, Frisch instilled the rollicking, all-out style of hard-nosed play that produced two World Series championships and prompted sportswriters to tab the Cardinals “The Gashouse Gang.”
