...neighborhood grocer and had some standing in the community as Donora High's star pitcher. He was also bat boy during the summer for the zinc works' semi-pro team, managed by Joe Barbao. One day, with his club shorthanded and his pitcher wilting before the Monessen (Pa.) sluggers, Joe sent Bat Boy Musial to the mound.
