Edward Carlton Crosby is a former infielder in Major League Baseball who played for the St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians. Crosby batted left-handed and threw right-handed. Crosby played college baseball at Long Beach City College and was drafted by the Cardinals in the second round of the January phase of the 1969 Major League Baseball Draft. He began his professional career with a rookie-league stint, as well as the Lewiston Broncs; he had a .295 batting average in 70 games for them. In 1970, Crosby played in 78 games for the Arkansas Travelers, where he had a .300 batting average. Partway through the season, he was promoted to the Cardinals' major league roster, where he played in 38 games primarily as a shortstop. After a year with the major league club, Crosby spent the 1971 season with the AAA Tulsa Oilers, hitting .287. His fielding ability had taken a turn for the worse at shortstop, and he tried moving to second base during the offseason. He was supported in this by Travelers manager Ken Boyer, who joined the Cardinals as first base coach.
