    Frank Rizzo

    April 18, 2022
    Paolantonio's first book is departure from his usual sports writing, taking a deep dive into the life and times of the infamous 1972-80 Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo in this accessible biography. Paolantonio tried to illustrate "both sides" of why Rizzo was so polarizing, as a either loved or hated guy (depending largely on race and class in how he's remembered.) Rizzo, the patron saint of many South Philly Italians and other Catholic "white ethnics", became the biggest enemy of African-Americans as the direct target of his numerous raids and police brutality, and well-to-do Chestnut Hill liberals. Paolantonio traced his Italian immigrant ancestors to his cop father, and Rizzo's fighting as first-recourse which eventually led him into the Philadelphia Police Force, where he worked beats across the city for 24 years.

Russell Peltz’s “Thirty Dollars and a Cut Eye,” Daniel James Brown’s “The Boys in the Boat,”  and Mark Milatz’s “Caddie Tales: A Looper’s Seach for Lost Golf Balls and What He Found Instead.”

    Milatz’s tale from his days caddying at various courses conjured memories of the former loopers at Atlantic City Country Club like the late Ed “Yank” Yankuskie, who spent over 50 years carrying bags at local courses such as ACCC and Linwood.

    Once or twice a year – usually while sitting at the beach – I venture out of my literary comfort zone.

    Those books have included Mitch Albom’s “The Five People You Meet in Heaven,” Paula Hawkins’ “The Girl on the Train,” Delia Owens’ “Where the Crawdads Sing,” and Jennifer Probst’s Jersey Shore-based triology, “Forever in Cape May,” “Love on Beach Avenue,” and “Temptation on Ocean Drive” about wedd
