Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 22, 2020 FATEFUL DECISION | FROM PAGE 15 him an invite to spring training in 2000 with the Philadelphia Phillies, and he was assigned to Double-A Reading (Pennsylvania). At 30 and stuck behind some younger Phillies prospects, his playing time was staggered, and his hitting numbers suffered. He was released by Reading about halfway through the season, and with few options signed a contract with Yucatán in the Mexican League to finish their season. That detour lasted 14 games and 62 at bats before he returned home to Florida to contemplate his future. Now with two children, his son, C.J., now “on the roster,” the Cappuccios decided to give it another shot; they headed out of the country once again, this time to Winnipeg, Ontario, to play for the Winnipeg Goldeyes in 2001, once again in the Independent League. Cappuccio’s final pro season in Canada, in 2001 Cappuccio became a bit of a folk hero. He set franchise and league records, including a 45game hitting streak which still stands. He played in all 90 games, hit nine homers and drove in 80 runs while hitting .359. It was a season to remember, but at 31 and not looking at a major league contract in his future, Cappuccio decided to call it a career after nine professional seasons, 663 games, 2,634 at bats, 50 home runs and 336 runs REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 Vu, Nguyenhoangan Mehta, Ronak Ohear, Meredith R Vasquez, Christianna N Mcauliffe, Simon C Shou, Eric Pineault, Brendan Burgholzer, Michael F Eccleston, Jonathan M Fredheim-Emerson, Britt I Quelle, Ian A Lafrance, Marc Mcfadden, Bridgeen M Snyders, Nicholas Nugent, Matthew A BUYER2 Nguyen, Xuan D Mehta, Sonam Chaffee, Christopher F Sarkar, Joydita Lee, Elizabeth SELLER1 Nguyen, So D Philius, Andre Tribble, Roy Donovan, Stephen Logiudice, Joseph A 22 Stearns Street NT Carney, Christopher J Moccia-Burgholzer, Alyse Keough, John J Connelly, Sara Durett FT Xu, Wanxin Mcfadden, Frank K Nugent, Nancy A SAUGUS Turner, Rebecca M Rachels, Richard E Durette, Denis R Wilcox, Janice M Yakovich, Laura SELLER2 Nguyen, Xuan D Cosmeus, Camelita Tribble, Elaine M Donahue, Mary P Oneill, John F Carney, Mary C batted in. For his entire pro career, he hit .291, a sensational statistic. These days he is a successful sales executive making his home in Greensboro, N.C., ironically, just a county or two away from Michael Jordan’s home. His two children were both accomplished high school athletes and both now attend college in Florida, as their parents did. Twenty-five years and “The Last Dance” later, lots of people, including Terry Francona, (whose opinion I respect, but not in this instance) glamorously spoke of how Jordan “could have definitely been a major leaguer, if he stuck with it...” I do not buy into that school of thought. Could Carmine Cappuccio have been a major leaguer, perhaps with that extra season of Double-A seasoning? Perhaps. Yeah, maybe, but we will never know. But it is always nice to think of what might have been, isn’t it? You made us proud, Carmine, you really did.
