Organized crime has provided us with lots of colorful nicknames. Mobsters have been nicknamed for their looks, such as Big Nose Jimmy, Fat Frankie, Cockeyed Joey, etc., or their criminal propensity or vocation such as Tommy the Blade, Nick the Baker, and so on...A popular mob nickname was the name “Shorty”
So here’s the challenge…The five hoodlums listed below each had this nickname. Four were “with” New York City Families and the fifth was affiliated with the St. Louis Family.
Like Malavita so eloquently said, “You know the drill.”
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 city/state he lived and operated in. 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) Shorty
B) Shorty
C) Shorty
D) Shorty
E) Shorty
1) Gambino (NYC)
2) Gambino (NYC)
3) Colombo (NYC)
4) Lucchese (NYC)
5) Giordano (St. Louis)

JoePuzzles and Malavita nailed two guys (*)...here's the other three correct answers; 1) Dominic (Shorty) Allocco - Gambino (NY) 2) Anthony (Shorty) Mascuzzio - Gambino (NY) 3) Ralph (Shorrty) Spero - Colombo (NY) * 4) Angelo (Shorty) DiPalo - Lucchese (NY) 5) Ralph (Shorty) Caleca - Giordano (St. Louis) *
