Featured Birthday – Joe Cronin
One of the finest shortstops in American League history, Joe Cronin actually had four careers in major league baseball. After excelling at shortstop for the Washington Senators from 1928 to 1934, Cronin assumed the responsibilities of player-manager for the Boston Red Sox for the next 11 seasons. Retiring as an active player in 1945, Cronin remained Red Sox manager until he succeeded Eddie Collins as the team’s general manager at the conclusion of the 1947 campaign. Cronin continued in that post through mid-January 1959, when he was elected president of the American League, a position he held for the next 15 years. In all, Cronin spent more than 50 years in major league baseball in one capacity or another, making him one of the most distinguished members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Read More
