Three more in the mix for today! Jerry Casale ended up in the restaurant business in NYC after he got out of baseball. He opened a couple places, one of which I think is still around, in Murray Hill, in Manhattan. Wikipedia says it was called Pino's on 34th St, but there is a Pino on 33rd, so I'm guessing that may be it. I'll have to swing by there, next time I'm in town. Next week, as a matter of fact. Geno Conley, who died recently, was an interesting athlete. He was one of only two guys to win championships in two major sports, with Otto Graham being the other, about ten years prior. Conley won the World Series with the Braves, and three titles with the Celtics. He also won the 1955 All-Star Game. The book, Red Sox Nation, tells a story of Conley and Pumpsie Green getting out of the team bus in NYC traffic to find a bathroom. When they came out of the bar, the bus was gone, so they checked into a hotel. Green rejoined the team the next day, but Conley decided he had to go see Jerusalem, so he disappeared for a bit. He was fined, but eventually made his way back. I wonder if they ran into to Pino's to use the facility...they could have said hello to Jerry! Have a great one!!
