	Athletes - George Crowe

George Daniel Crowe was born on April 30 1921 in Whiteland, Indiana. He was a first baseman/second baseman with a 9 year career from 1952-1953, 1955-1961 and played for the Boston Braves, Milwaukee Braves, Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals (all of the National League).

He was elected to the National League All-Star team in 1958. Coincidentally, the year before, fans of his team—the Cincinnati Redlegs (as the Reds were called at the time, due to the Cold War)—had been involved in a ballot stuffing campaign to put all of the team's regulars in the starting lineup. Ed Bailey, Johnny Temple, Roy McMillan, Don Hoak, Frank Robinson, Gus Bell and Wally Post had been "voted" into the lineup, but Crowe was beaten out in the final vote tally by future Cardinal teammate Stan Musial.
