Michael Gazella was born in 1895 in Olyphant, PA and died in 1978 in Odessa, TX. He played major league baseball from 1923 to 1928 as infielder for the New York Yankees, and appeared in 1926 World Series. Gazella is described as a hard-nosed, scrappy guy who once told off the whole Yankee team when he felt they weren't playing up to their ability. He was both a football and a baseball star at Lafayette College, where he attended from 1920-23. He played with Atlanta Crackers of the Southern Association in 1923. Gazella scouted for the Yankees in the late 1940s.
