My deepest sympathies to the Mossi family. In 1961 I was 10 years of age and school & baseball were my life. Mr. & Mrs. Mossi & his wife lived in my neighborhood in N.W. Detroit when I was growing up. We kids used to ride up & down his street in hopes of seeing him. Rocky Colavito was a famous slugger for the Tigers and I have a very clear memory of him coming over to pick up Mr. Mossi in a huge white Cadillac convertible with the top down. He provided a lot of joy to us youngsters when...
