I love baseball and have been an Oakland A’s fan for many years now. Since we are in the mist of baseball season; I thought it was only fitting to write about Manteca’s baseball star...Mile Candini. Before he was born, his Italian immigrant parents live in Athol, Massachusetts. But later moved and settled in Manteca where Mario Gustino Candini was born on August 3, 1917. He was the seventh child born of eight. With the desire to as- similate into American society and the current tensions at the time, due to World War I, his parents changed his name from Mario Gustino to Milo Cain Candini. At Manteca High School, Candini stood six foot tall and weighed in at 187 pounds. He was very athletic and lettered in basketball, track, and football; along with baseball. However, he quickly be- came the school’s star pitcher as a junior and senior. When he was a senior, he tossed a no-hitter game and once struck out 45 batters over two games. Candini was named the medium school Athlete of the Year in 1934 and 1935 and Baseball Player of the Year in 1935 and 1936. He led Manteca Buffaloes to consecutive West Side titles. His ability at baseball caught the attention of the Pacific Coast League and scout, Joe Devine, who was on the prowl looking for talented players for the New York Yankees. He had just signed on Joe DiMaggio a year earlier. So, in 1936, after Milo graduated, Devine signed him on. However, after being in the Yankee Farm system for six years, he never played on their team but was traded to Washington in 1943 and was on the Senators open- ing day roster. He proceeded to play all or part of eight seasons in Major League Baseball from 1942 - 1951 for the Washington Senators and the Philadelphia Phillies. When his career was over, he continued to pitch in the Pacific Coast League until 1957; primarily for the Sacramento Solons. In 1951, the Bowman Gum Company produced a picture card on him: Series 5 (R406-5). He served on the Washington Sena- tors from 1943 - 44 and 1946 - 49, and the Philadelphia Phillies from 1950 - 51. His record follows: Win - Loss Record 26 –21 Strikeouts 183 Earned Run Average 3.92 He was right handed. When Milo retired, he settled down with his second wife, Viola, in Manteca. He worked for Contadina Foods and later he opened Milo’s Liquors from 1962 to 1979 before retiring. He enjoyed playing in the local softball leagues will into his early 50’s and was a strong supporter of baseball in this town. A street leading to Big League Dreams is named Milo Candini Drive. Candini died from cancer at 80 years old on Match 17, 1998. He is buried in Park View Cemetery in Manteca. In 1994, he was inducting into the Manteca Hall of Fame and in 2012, into the Sac-Joaquin Sec- tion High School Sports Hall of Fame. It is wonderful that this talented ballplayer was from our town! We have so much to be proud of, especial- ly Manteca Union High! I sure do wish I could have seen him pitch that ball!! Sources: The Baseball Gauge, Wikivivdly, Wikipedia, Gregory H.
