34 Italian Americans

in baseball, basketball, boxing, bowling, football, golf, hockey, racing, soccer and wrestling

By: Fausto Batella

Joe DiMaggio was the greatest, but he was not the first, and he was not the last. Throughout the hundred years history of USA sports, thousands of Italian Americans went like him after the dream of a better life. Hundreds of them eventually made it, and in dozens even reached the highest points of their sports. Some of them were never to be forgotten. Other fell into oblivion by few years. But if the symbol Joe DiMaggio is enough to represent them all, their stories, often heartbreaking, always compelling, would need an entire book to be told. An ebook like this one.

First and Ten

Pro Football Players Born in Italy

By: Fausto Batella

These are the stories of 13 young Italians who, from the early years of the twentieth century up to the eighties, emigrated to America and, with commitment and sacrifice, came to play with the pros in the National Football League. A series of human and sporting adventures lived in another world and on a stage of excellence. Different stories: some will only play a few games, one will be a pioneer in an era of pioneers in the U.S. itself, the others will be skilled professionals and, some will be part of the selected few that will earn a place in the Hall of Fame. The appendix instead tells the stories of 4 Americans born in Italy but raised in the United States whose parents were military, technicians and athletes temporarily engaged in the Bel Paese. These four will have played in the NFL. Illustrated with 26 B&W photographs and documents.
