Write to The Sporting News. The URL is www.sportingnews.com/ Perhaps there is something in their archives. Anyway, it added some color to my greatuncle's history. They sent me the following: Thomas "Pike" Crinnion was a pitcher for the St. Louis Browns. No metropolis in America has more pure baseball spirit than St. Louis, Missouri. It's a love affair that began in 1874, when a band of local boosters raised $20,000 to start a professional ball club, and the honeymoon still isn't over. The Browns were at one time the more popular St. Louis ballclub, and George Sisler was as good a player as any who played in St. Louis. Unfortunately, the Browns suffered through mediocrity, until 1944 when they won the pennant. (and played the Cardinals in the World Series!). Thomas(Pike)Crinnion`s obit appeared in The Sporting News, July 29, 1943.
