From Stoneham High to the Big Leagues: Joe Vitiello

After graduating from Stoneham High in 1988, Joe Vitiello was drafted by the New York Yankees. He eventually signed with the Kansas City Royals, where he hit 8 home runs and drove in 40 runs in 1996. Named to the 2002 International League All-Star team, Joe was inducted into the SHS Hall of Fame in 2005.

I remember him best as a member of the Pirates little league team, blasting home runs over the left field fence at Pomeworth Park and into the tennis courts.
