Stubborn. Bombastic. Champion.
 

Sometimes controversy and a hot temper can fuel a team to great heights and sometimes it can lead to one’s demise. And sometimes, it can even lead to having your father in stands screaming at you in a recreation softball game.  In the case of John Pulver, although it wasn’t always pretty, he delivered.

Although one of the most controversial Goodfellas in history, John Pulver goes does as one of the best pitchers in franchise history. His stubbornness and temper were really signs of passion to win. 

The will to win. Few men have it and often times few men ever achieve the greatness they set themselves up for. Dan “The Champ” Ciampino, the founder of Goodfellas Softball, possess that will that so many softball players lack. His determination, focus and pure admiration for the game has transcended over the franchise since its inception. However, some men, just know when it’s time to go.
 

Born in Albany, NY Dan Ciampino grew up aspiring to be a champion. Whether it be in football, little league or in backyard wiffle ball, Dan Ciampino only wanted one thing and that was championship glory. Ciampino set himself up for greatness at an early age, spending countless hours in the gym setting weight lifting records at his high school. As a star football player for CBA, Ciampino battled through numerous knee injuries and kept going out on the field. His toughness would transition over to softball and in 2007 he decided to start the Goodfellas softball franchise. During his tenure, he has set numerous records including being the only player in franchise history to be ejected from a game.

Big Phil Sidoti was born and raised in Albany NY and has been a barber for over 40 years. After spending many years watching his son sit the bench, he never had the opportunity to show the world his knowledge of hitting, but that all changed on a cold windy January morning, when Big Phil and little Phil had a meeting of the minds. Big Phil took over as the teams hitting coach in 2013 and his impact was immediately felt as the Goodfellas would go on to win their first title and set multiple records across many offensive categories. Known for his "who gives a shit" attitude Big Phil's larger than life persona kept players at ease; allowing them to focus on their mechanics and less on the numbers. With his famous catch phrases such as "sometimes you gotta rob peter to pay paul, or you cant make ice cream out of horse shit" Big Phil always had the perfect line at the perfect moment.

Legend. A word often used to describe men who have achieved greatness. But, a word that often doesn’t describe a masterful man to the fullest.
 

Kevin Clemens, the man of steel, the silent warrior, is indeed a legend… but much more can go into the description of the man who has had a drastic impact on the Goodfellas franchise. 

Born in Albany NY, Kevin grew up with passion for the game of baseball which transcended into softball as he got older. A member of the Goodfellas franchise since their inception, Kevin was always willing to help the Fellas anyway he could. Whether it be doing the book, or playing the outfield, #55 played the game the right way, with intensity and passion to win.  His gutsy performances, Charlie Hustle style of play and never say never attitude has earned Kevin a spot into the prestigious Goodfellas Hall of Fame.

Although only a member of the team for one year, Adam "Crazycraze" Crisafulli will go down as one of the most beloved Goodfellas of all time. With his "charlie-hustle" style of play, Adam is a role model for future Goodfellas.
