Jack DiLauro, a left-handed pitcher from Akron, Ohio who appeared in 23 games for the New York Mets in 1969, played a small but valuable role in the Mets’ march to the National League pennant that season.
Jack Edward DiLauro was born on March 3, 1943 in Akron. He starred in football, basketball, and baseball at Akron North High School and earned a football scholarship to the University of Akron, which he declined in favor of signing a professional baseball contract.[1] DiLauro also pitched in the Greater Akron AA Baseball League for competitive players 18 years old and over. Joining the Tramonte Black Labels in 1961, DiLauro had an 8-1 record in 1962 and led that team to the Greater Akron AA championship that season.[2]
In 1963 DiLauro signed a contract with the Detroit Tigers for a $15,000 bonus[3] and sent the 19 year-old prospect to Jamestown of the New York-Penn League. Following a 14-10, 3.54 ERA season, the Tigers moved him to the Class A Duluth in the Northern League where DiLauro posted a 14-8 record and a 2.81 ERA. Next came Rocky Mount (Class A Carolina League) and then a promotion in 1966 to Syracuse, Detroit’s Triple-A International League team and the last hurdle for DiLauro to make the majors.
