BLUEFIELD — In a league full of tongue-twister names, few are as unique as No. 28 for the Bluefield Orioles.
That name is Vito Frabizio, who got the name from his father, who is an Italian from New York.
“My dad had the same name,” Frabizio said. “It goes back a long way.”
Frabizio hopes to carry that name forward to greatness in baseball.
“My goal is to be an all-star in the big leagues,” said Frabizio, a right-handed pitcher for the Orioles.
See more on Frabizio in Friday's Daily Telegraph.
