Rocky Marcianos' history in life

Post by DR Vooh »

I heard he wanted to play baseball, and tried out for the Cubs...Golly, if he didn't start boxing until after that age, imagine how he would have been if he started at a real early age???

Rocky Marciano often told the story of being offered a baseball (his first love) contract as a catcher by the Chicago Cubs. Actually, Marciano tried out for the Cubs in the Spring of 1947, after being discharged from the 150th Combat Engineers, but he was never extended a contract
