Grosseto Baseball
The Italian-American Jim Buccheri is back in Italian Baseball. Born in 1968 he returns to the Apennine, playing for Grosseto Baseball. He previously wore the jerseys of Rimini, San Marino and Nettuno in the Italian Baseball League. The outfielder will give manager Mike Hartley a little bit more depth and should help the team with his experience.
