Lou Criger

Biography

John J. McGraw says: “Lew Criger was a catcher of the old school and one of the classiest. He caught Cy Young, Bill Dineen and other stars for years. All of them pronounce him great. Criger was an everyday, hard-working catcher that always could be depended upon. Though Lew was but a fair hitter he was very dependable in the pinches. His gentlemanly conduct, all around even temperament, made him most valuable to any organization. Lew Criger was a credit to the game.”
