Holy Cimoli!
 As a pre-teen Pittsburgh Pirates fan from NY since 1956 -- a thankless task at first, but they were a young team building -- I remember Gino as the fourth OF (behind, R to L, Clemente, Virdon, Skinner) who in 1960 won a World Series ring just two seasons after he led off MLB's first West Coast game-for-real against SF's Reuben Gomez. Gino's bat proved an integral piece of the Bucs's epic seven-game win.
 Next year, he was traded to Milwaukee, while Dick "Dr. Strangeglove" Stuart remained to play 1B. What was Gino's weakness/offense?
