His throwing arm was soon strong enough to win bets from the unwary, and there are those...
Rocky Upstairs? So far. success has not spoiled Rocky Colavito. Painstakingly polite, he will sign autographs for kids by the hour, admonishing the unruly to say thank you. During the season, he lives quietly in a furnished home on Cleveland's west side with his pretty, dark-haired wife Carmen, 23. and their two children, Rocco, 3, and Marisa, 15 months. In the winter they move back to their home in Temple, Pa., where Rocky met Carmen in 1953 while playing with nearby Reading. There they keep a jewelry box full of religious medals that fans have sent...
