Del Crandall

Biography

A short bio from the Helmar “This Great Game” card back: How steady is Del behind the plate? He’s the favored target of teammate Warren Spahn on Warren’s turns with the ball. Crandall was in the big leagues, squatting behind the batter when he was only 19 years old. His defensive abilities are rated among the most complete in the Senior Circuit. Del keeps runners on their toes, snapping throws to tether them close to the bag, a habit his teammates appreciate.
