Frank (often called “Frankie”) Frisch was a legitimately great player for the Giants and Cardinals in the 1920s and early 1930s.
He had 2,880 hits, 419 stolen bases and was NL MVP in 1931, when he played in one of his eight World Series (four with the Giants, four with the Cardinals).
By 1933 he was managing the Cardinals, and led them to a pennant and World Series title in 1934.
