A popular mob nickname were variations of the name “Lefty”

And like Malavita so eloquently said last time around, “You know the drill.”

So here’s the challenge…The six hoodlums listed below each had this nickname. Five of them were with New York crews; two with the Colombo Family, two with the Bonanno Family, one with the Gambino's. The sixth guy was with the St. Louis, Missouri Family.

Your job is to identify each man by listing his REAL “first and last name” and matching the (letter) of his nickname with the corresponding (number) of the Family he affiliated with. For instance, you could say C-2, and his real name was Frank Russo.

Have at it fellas. Let’s see how well you know mobsters and their nicknames.

A) Lefty
B) Lefty
C) Lefty
D) Lefty
E) Lefty
F) Lefty

1) Colombo
2) Colombo
3) Bonanno
4) Bonanno
5) Gambino
6) St.Louis, MO

CORRECTION:

Of the 6 men listed, there are 2 Colombo, 2 Bonanno, 1 Gambino, 1 St. Louis

My apologies for the error fellas.

I am going to start with the most obvious one :

A - 3 : Benjamin "Lefty" Ruggiero (Bonanno)

I have no idea for the other ones.

You left out Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal who was running the Stardust, Fremont, Marina, and Hacienda casinos in Vegas for the Outfit. Robert Deniro plays him in Casino.

Bingo! Another bullseye...and then there were five!

Good job Malavita.

I didn't "leave him out" as you say, Rosenthal just isn't part of this quiz. Rush, do you have any idea how many hoodlums all across America share "Lefty" as a nickname? There must be thousands.

And truth be told, Rosenthal was a longtime undercover rat for the FBI, so he's probably the last guy I'd ever list for one of these quizzes. lol

But Rush, why don't you take a shot at the true identifies of the other five guys listed here?

Malavita nailed one, A-3*. Here are the correct answers for the other five.

Lefty was Joseph SanGiorgio/Colombo
Lefty was Salvatore Mangiamelli/Colombo
Lefty was Benjamin Ruggiero/Bonanno*
Lefty was George Rizzo/Bonanno
Lefty was Lester Miraglia/Gambino
Lefty was Anthony Bova/St. Louis, MO

Could a guy named Lefty be someone's "right hand man '??????? I dont mean to be philosophical here.
