Personal Remembrance

Andy Mascia was a righthanded pitcher on the 1954 St. Cloud Rox of the Class C Northern League. I was also a pitcher on this team. St. Cloud was a farm team of the New York Giants. Andy was a tall slender athlete with black hair, probably age 20 or 21. He was a sinker-ball pitcher. He joined the Rox after the season had started. He may have been pitching for a Class D team (possibly the Mayfield Clothiers) before being promoted to St. Cloud. Andy had a good sense of humor, and was easy to get along with. He probably continued his pro career after St. Cloud, but I don't know what teams he may have played for.
