Jim Crandall

James Mark Crandall (December 7, 1912 – February 1983)[1][2] was an American professional baseball player, manager and coach.

In his only Major League service, he served as a coach on the last St. Louis Browns team in history, the 1953 edition.

Crandall had begun the year as skipper of the San Antonio Missions of the Double-A Texas League, where he lasted into July before taking Norman's old post with the Browns.

Owner Bill Veeck was pressured into selling the team to Baltimore interests, who shifted the club to their city for 1954.

He died in February 1983 at age 70 in Bullhead City, Arizona, although no specific date of death has been listed.
