Tony Lazzeri wasn't as well known as his fellow "Murderer's Row" teammates but he was a key member of those dominant Yankee teams. One of the best hitting second basemen of his era he had some monster games including a two grand slam affair where he knocked in runs in one game. He also is the only player in history to hit a grand slam to cap off a natural cycle (single, double, triple, and homer in sequence). When his Hall of Fame career ended he managed the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League and I felt this was a good tribute from this Canadian artist.
