Cards Add Two Men To Roster For 1948 Pocatello
New look for the 1948 Pocatello Cardinal baseball team as business manager Marvin Milkes announces two more signings. Dominic Barczewski and Bob Almstrom bring the roster to 16 under contract, with Barczewski poised for regular duty after a strong Illinois State League season and Almstrom noted as a hustling rookie seeking a local nine spot. Milkes also praises pitcher Bob Mahoney, who went 18 and 11 in his first pro season, as a potential mound asset. The club aims for 21 ready for spring training pending contracts from Don Cupp, Jim Kissane, Granville Stone, Tony Gianetti, and Al Neil, though Gianetti has yet to respond.
