Senior sportsman DeFillippo keeps playing past age 70 in Albuquerque
Sam DeFillippo II, age 73, remains active in softball and slow pitch leagues at Los Altos Park and Rio Rancho, claiming frequent play despite health scares. A Brooklyn native who moved to Albuquerque in 1972, he cherishes baseball memories with Duke Snider and Jackie Robinson memorabilia, coaches Little League, and continues to compete with his family teams while balancing age and devotion to the game.
