1952 Topps #360, George Crowe ⭐ MLB Pioneer
George was The Original Great (OG) two-sport American Hero.
He was "Mr. Basketball" in Indiana and played professionally before devoting himself to pro baseball.
When George Crowe retired in 1961, he held the MLB record for most career pinch-hit home runs (14). A benchmark for clutch hitting off the bench until others surpassed it in later decades.
A MLB Pioneer, George began his pro baseball career in the Negro League with the NY Black Yankees.
