Italian Americans Set to Star in MLB Postseason

There are Italian American players or coaches on all 12 teams in the Major League Baseball postseason.
Based on our knowledge, this is one of the largest numbers of Italian Americans to play in the MLB postseason in the modern era. 
It’s an exciting time of year. Kicking off Italian American Heritage Month with the MLB postseason is just perfect. IABF will be tracking the progress of each player as the postseason progresses.

When an Italian American wins the World Series, we all win!
