Brazil Aces Baseball Career With Connie Mack Trail
Frank Brazil, hailed as one of Connie Mack’s best recruits, zigzagged through Cumberland, Brooklyn, Hartford, Winnipeg, Atlanta and St Paul from 1918 to 1920. The left handed batter hit as high as .333 in pro ball and led both the Eastern and Western Canada Leagues in hitting in 1919. A fast infielder, Brazil seeks a regular spot with the Athletics this year and warned he will not sit on the bench if not guaranteed play.
