Personal

Following his 1952 graduation from high school in South Shore, KY, Frank Callihan was signed to a professional baseball contract by the St. Louis Browns. He was assigned to the Marion (NC) Marauders of the Class D Western Carolina League and joined the club on August 1. His first appearance came on August 4, 1952, when he hurled 5 1/3 scoreless innings in relief against the Rutherfordton County (NC) Owls. He allowed just 3 hits and was credited with the win in what was a notable debut.^[1]

Based upon game accounts published in The McDowell News and the Marion Progress, Callihan pitched in at least eight games for Marion, accumulating approximately 40 innings and compiling a record of 5-1. Had saves been a recognized statistic in 1952, he also would have earned one save.

There is uncertainty about the identification of the career engagements reported about this person. Please see the talk page for details.
