Born and raised in the Bronx, N.Y., Sylvio was one of eleven children. He played professional baseball in the Detroit Tigers organization and also served in the US Army during the Korean War.

Sylvio’s passions were his family, his friends and his love of baseball, particularly his love of coaching young aspiring baseball players.
