Lonny Frey

Given Name: Linus Reinhard
Nickname: Junior

Hadn't heard of Lonny Frey until I was watching an episode of "Antiques Roadshow" on PBS in March of 2008. His son brought a batch of bats, rings and watches from Lonny's career (Lonny was still alive at 97 years old, but didn't come to the show). The accumulated group of memorabilia was valued at around $20,000. Certainly more than Lonny made in any of his years in the bigs.

Frey was the last surviving player to have played for all three New York teams - Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Yankees and New York Giants.


Born: 8/23/1910 in St. Louis, MO USA

First Game: Tuesday August 29, 1933
Last Game: Tuesday September 28, 1948
