ESTEL CRABTREE - Inducted in 1989 In an eight-year career, Crabtree emerged as the all-time Red Wings leader in hits (1,041), RBI (542) and games played (934). Between 1933 and 1940, he topped the .300 mark five times on his way to a .308 lifetime average. He clubbed 91 career home runs, none more famous than a ninth-inning three-run shot to propel the Wings past Newark in the 1939 Governors' Cup Finals. Crabtree was also widely acknowledged for his defensive work in the outfield. . |
