Very interesting article from Tony's Memorial:
When Tony was 14 years old he moved to his Uncle Rocky and Aunt Helen (Becker) Leier's farm to work for them because their oldest son James Leier age 7 was not yet old enough to do the farm work. My Dad said Uncle Rocky was very smart and knew baseball statistics and could figure out which teams would win based on the players scores and stats. While working for them they would sometimes drive into the town of Wells, (sometimes called Wellsburg) and go to the bar to listen to the radio and hear the baseball games and scores. There was no television back then only the radio and newspapers.
