Accompanying Quatraro on his National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum visit on Nov. 24 was his wife, Chris, and sons George and Leo, aged 10 and eight, respectively.
“Being from Upstate New York, we’re back in the Albany area for Thanksgiving, and my wife had the idea we’ll come out here a day early and spend a little time, bring the boys to the Hall of Fame and get them to experience it for the first time,” Quatraro said. “I’ve been fortunate to come here throughout my life, and it’s brand new every time.
“I was very fortunate as a kid. We played our American Legion state tournament here. We got to play high school games here and some recreational games here from time to time. I’ve been to the Hall of Fame a handful of times, most recently when I was managing in the New York-Penn League. We’d bring a whole team here for the morning before a game when we played in Oneonta.”
