Growing up in an Italian household during the sixties, DiMaggio was still King and when my Folks brought home a signed menu from Joe D's restaurant in 1966, that lit the fire for me to read as much as I could about the Yankee legends.

My love for Clemente on the other hand, stemmed from a game at Chavez Ravine, sitting it the right field bleachers with my Little League team. The Great One made some spectacular plays and ripped the cover off the ball, and that was it for me.

My focus is vintage original Baseball Photography.
