LOL.

My husband's name is Jim Gentile and he thinks no one knows who the baseball player was ( and I doubt there is a relation although I haven't searched his family yet)!
#9: Re: Italian American All Star Baseball Team Author: Biff83, Location: FloridaPosted: Wed Apr 02, 2008 10:40 am ---- Okay, I've added more All Stars per your suggestions and added a couple of other positions.
