Johnny Antonelli

Johnny Antonelli, somewhat unfairly, is remembered by the incidents he was part of, instead of as an individual who had an impressive pitching career. Labels abound and, of the memories attached to them, controversies.

With the Blues, Antonelli was involved in two Texas league division titles in 1969 and 1970. After leaving Memphis in 1972, he was manager of the Class AAA Tidewater team in the International Association, where he stayed for
