The 5'7" 155-lb Pieretti worked in a slaughterhouse during the off-season, killing cattle with a baseball bat. The native Italian won 14 for the Senators in 1945 as a wartime player. He lasted five more seasons as a spot starter after the regulars returned, hitting a respectable (for a pitcher) .217 lifetime. (JK)
