	Blue Ridge Country: Ron Necciai -- Baseball in the Blue Ridge
		Ron Necciai tried for three years to come back from what was basically a torn rotator cuff, which at the time he played was nearly always a career-ending injury.
		At this point, Ron Necciai was beckoned by one of the legends of baseball, Branch Rickey, the man who had set baseball on its ear in his own fashion by bringing Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers from the Negro Leagues, forever ending segregation in baseball.
		Necciai won his first (and only) major league game August 24th, 4-3 against the Boston Braves, and as the season drew to a close he was already chomping at the bit for the '53 campaign to start.

		The passed ball gave Necciai a chance to become the first man in baseball history to strike out 27 men in a regulation nine-inning game.

		Necciai never pitched in the majors again; Bell tossed all of one more inning, in 1955 (after spending the 1953 and '54 seasons in the military).
