1976 Topps #457 Ed Crosby
About Ed Crosby
Crosby hit .234 with 30 hits in 61 games for Cleveland in 1975, working mostly at shortstop and second base. His 1976 Topps card, #457, shows him with the Indians. He got into two games in 1976, going 1-for-2, and played his last major league game on May 12.
Ed Crosby was a left-handed-hitting infielder, mostly a shortstop and second baseman, who played 297 major league games from 1970 to 1976 for the St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians. Born May 26, 1949, in Long Beach, California, he played at Long Beach City College and was a second-round pick of the Cardinals in the January phase of the 1969 draft. He reached St. Louis in July 1970, and after his fielding slipped at shortstop he tried second base with Ken Boyer's backing. The Cardinals sent him to the Reds in July 1973, and after the Phillies took him in the December 1973 Rule 5 draft, the Cardinals bought back his contract and sent him to Cleveland with Luis Alvarado for Jack Heidemann. The Angels acquired him from Cleveland in December 1976 for outfielder Marty Friedman. He hit .220 for his career with 44 RBI. His son Bobby Crosby was the 2004 American League Rookie of the Year.
