Gino Cimoli

It was such a sad day when I learned of your passing Big G. We always had such great times when Lello and I and you and Lorraine were together. About 3 yrs ago I was in SF and it was decided Marcelo´s would be a. Good place to celebrate. I asked one of the "older" servers if he remembered Gino Cimoli. He went behind the bar and pulled your signed picture out of a drawer! Of course we had a toast and another Manhattan. RIP my friend. Cuban cigars up there??!?? Love you always, Jan Weagraff,...

I remember Gino with the montreal royals in montreal p.q. canada

I met Gino at a minor league game in Toledo in the early 1950's, which got rained out. my friends and i ran into the team on our way out of the stadium and stopped to talk. He was very personable. Nice memory meeting a famous baseball players.

My name is Michael Dodson, my condolences. My mother lived in the same building as Gino in North Beach growing up (Mary Carlomagno) and his daughter Cheryl and I attended Sherman School together. Such a charming guy, he will be missed, best wishes to his family.

My name is Harvey Cohen when Gino was in Kansas city briefly I met him and his beautiful family.. during his time at KC he was a good friend of our family.. We lost track of him over time but he was always spoken of in our family for all those years... My dad passed away in 1999 they are probably together playing pinball in heaven God Bless Gino glad you were in my life

My name is Bob Monsour, and I'm old enough to remember well Gino's role in the 60 World Series. He had an infectious laugh and a fun-loving nature. In addition to leading off the penultimate 8th inning rally that set the stage for the dramatic final chapter, Gino had the most memorable line of all in the locker room interviews following the game. "They broke all the records and we won the games." The line broke Bob Prince up, and was passed on fondly through the years. God bless you, Gino....

Gino it seems that everyone you have ever known during your lifetime has never forgotten you. This latest addition to your Guest Book testifies to the fact that you are very well remembered.

Lots of baseball facts have been entered here but does anyone know that back in 1949 you played right field in Ebbots Field for the Brooklyn Dodgers? At the time Chuck Connors played first base and Jackie Robinson played center field.

Chuch Connors went on to Hollywood and Robinson...

I remember him from the 1960s. At one point he played for a minor league team briefly and came to Little Rock, Ark. in a game against the Arkansas Travelers.
Some redneck fan kept heckling Gino and finally he got enough and yelled back at him.
His Italian nature was too strong to be taken for granted. Read his obituary and noted that a requiem Mass was celebrated and that he is buried in a Catholic cemetery.
A real heads up guy. His statistics weren't bad. He was an asset when...
