Danny Kravitz

Daniel Kravitz (December 21, 1930 – June 19, 2013) was an American professional baseball player.

He was a catcher in Major League Baseball from 1956 to 1960 for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Kansas City Athletics.

Kravitz batted left-handed, threw right-handed, stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighed 195 pounds (88 kg).

Born in Lopez, Pennsylvania, to Eva (Hubiak) and John Kravitz, Danny Kravitz was a reserve catcher for the Pirates from 1956 through 1959, and he also began the 1960 season with the Bucs, but was traded to the Athletics on June 1, 1960, for Hank Foiles[1] and therefore was not with the Pirates during the 1960 World Series.

His first major league home run occurred on May 11, 1956, in the bottom of the ninth inning with the bases loaded and the Pirates trailing the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2.
