My understanding is that he was the "designated hitter" in the Mobs efforts to recover their interests in Havana. Yes, I believe he batted rightie ;-)

Thanks for this info and for the rest...cheers

Why no mention of Pittsburgh LCN clubs in the West Virginia Panhandle on Rt.30? Starting with Club 30 then The Jockey Club, both run by Chuck Teemer. Finally The Red Dog run by Jo Jo Pecora.

The actual control of these West Virgina "joints" started with Kelly Mannarino at Club 30 then John LaRocca at the Jockey Club followed by the Red Dog.

Pittsburgh's LaRocca Crime Family was connected to Chicago's On Leong gambling operation, as it came out in the 1990 racketeering trial of Pittsburgh underboss, Chucky Porter:

DiFronzo's involvement on the wiretaps was someone mentioning his name. The Feds never had DiFronzo actually speaking about the Casino on tape. After that happened, DiFronzo pulled back a lot more behind the scenes and forbid anyone to even mention his name on the phone or in public conversation ever again.
