Brothers Richie (later known as Dick) and Hank made it to the majors first. But it was Ron who made the biggest impact as his first hit was a home run in 1972 for the St. Louis Cardinals. While at Youngstown State from 1961 to 1964, he led the Penguins to a 58-24 overall ledger and his 1,001 career points rank him 23rd on the all-time scoring list. He currently lives in Glen Burning, Md., where he is an owner/trainer of race horses. His most famous entry, Northern Wolf, a sixth place finisher in the 1989 Kentucky Derby. Ron married the former Marthella Stewart, the couple has four children: Tracy, Andrea, Ronald and Lymara.
