Italian American in the Spotlight
Time to shine the light on another Italian-American featured on our light

banners around town. Christopher Colabello is an outfielder for the AAA Minnesota

Twins. He played for the Italy National Team in the 2013 World Baseball Classic

with fellow Italian-Americans San Diego Padres outfielder Chris Denorfia and

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo. The Twins, in dire need of minor

league depth, signed 28-year-old Chris Colabello to play first base at Double-A

New Britain. Colabello never had played for a team affiliated with major league

baseball. Instead, he was a refugee from the independent Can-Am League.

When he signed with the Twins, he received no bonus and no promises. That was

OK with him. Colabello spent seven years toiling primarily with the Worcester

(Mass.) Tornadoes and hoping against all odds to someday get a chance. The

Twins gave him one. And in minor league camp last spring, he was wide-eyed when

former Twins manager Tom Kelly offered him pointers at first base. He also was

appreciative when any coach showed even the slightest interest.
