I was once told by a semi-retired wiseguy from New Jersey that Baltimore was always too rough (he meant full of african-americans) to be completely taken over by the italians. FWIW


Good post.
Frank Corbi died in 1990 at the age of 86. It looks like the crew was put on the shelf most likely already during Castellano´s reign. The Baltimore crew doesn´t seem to have recruited any younger members so it simply died out. There is no reference of the Baltimore crew in any of the books covering John Gotti and to my memory, Gravano didn´t mention it at all.
