The Anselmi-Scalise baseball bat beating is a myth. The coroner's report shows that they weren't beaten to death by baseball bats, they were shot to death with bullets. So the exact origin of how Accardo got his nickname of Joe Batters is unknown. We can presume he beat people with bats, but we don't have any solid evidence.
What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? Baseball! A man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But in the field, what? Part of a team. Teamwork.... Looks, throws, catches, hustles - part of one big team. Bats himself the live-long day, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and so on. If his team don't field... what is he? You follow me? No one! Sunny day, the stands are full of fans. What does he have to say? "I'm goin' out there for myself. But... I get nowhere unless the team wins."
