Paterno: The Story of a Penn State-Yankees Connection

By: Jay Paterno

In July 1985 the USFL spring football season was winding down. The Baltimore Stars (originally the Philadelphia Stars) made the championship game in Giants Stadium. Being an avid fan of the USFL, I asked my dad if we could go to the game. He (probably reluctantly) agreed to take my brother Scott, my friend Pete Eberhart and me to the game.

The day of the game he drove us to Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, and met two of his friends there. One friend was Nick Nicolosi, who owned the Hasbrouck Heights Sheraton. The other was a friend of both Mr. Nicolosi and my father, a guy named Joe DiMaggio (THAT Joe DiMaggio).
