Family Tree
Branca was one of thirteen children. "I have five brothers…and I just can't remember the time when we weren't throwing a baseball around the backyard. Three of my brothers are pitching in organized baseball today and I have a hunch at least one of them will make the majors. That's Paul. He's got the earmarks of a winner." Paul never made it to the major leagues, and neither did any of the other Branca brothers.
