[edit] Biographical Information

Al Brancato was the starting shortstop for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1939 and 1940. Many years later, at a meeting of the Philadelphia Athletics Historical Society, he reminisced about how the long train rides helped the players bond during card games and in the diner car.
