This week, Johnny Marz! Born and raised in South Philadelphia, John Marzano and his dad spent hundreds of hours working on his swing. That work made him a star for the Temple Owls and Team USA! He was a first round pick for the Boston Red Sox but never established himself as a starter. But through hard work and a great attitude, Marzano played 10 seasons in MLB! After his playing days, Marzano went into broadcasting with the Philadelphia Phillies. He did the postgame show and was a funny and engaging personality, but sadly his life was cut short by an accident. He passed away in 2008 at just 45 years old.
RIP John Marzano.
