~ Malden Musings ~ Joe Zaia Remembered
In the “wish you didn’t have to leave us when you did” department, I bring to you Mary Jane Zaia Sears: “Your column, mostly about the happenings in Malden in 1972 really hits home with me cause my late father, Joe Zaia, collapsed and passed away right in the 3rd base coaching box at Ferryway Green during one of his Babe Ruth games! It was on May 13, the day before Mother’s Day! He was the manager of the Padres and many of the young men you mentioned were on his team! Steve Carpenter, John Stanasek, and John LoPresti played on his team! That day many of the 13, 14, & 15-year-old players on both teams were forced by the circumstances to grow into young men! The Padres were in 4th place that sad day, but by the end of the season they ended up as the champions! Each and every member, along with their interim coaches and manager, played their hearts out to deliver such a great tribute and honor in memory of my father! My family and I will always be grateful to each and every one of them and my father will ‘always be loved…forever be missed…and will never be forgotten!’ We didn’t live in Edgeworth, but we did go to Saint Peter’s and my mother always worked the Saint Rocco’s Feast and in the early 50’s my father climbed to the top grease pole and did get the prize! Oh, and yes, my mother threw his clothes in the barrel!! I live in South Florida now and my parish church runs a fantastic festival (the best down here) but there still is nothing like Saint Rocco’s and the meaning that will stay with all of us forever! God Bless!”
