Description

Stan Naccarato (far right), a longtime supporter of sports in Tacoma, stands with Jack Dempsey and Bill Gazecki. Naccarato, a 1946 graduate from Clover Park High School, pitched in the minor leagues and compiled a 33-10 record over three seasons, but a shoulder injury ended his career. But that didn't end his interest in sports as he helped keep the Triple A Tacoma Rainiers here. Naccarato also worked with boxers over the years, supporting their careers. Dempsey was the world heavyweight champ in professional boxing from 1919 to 1926.
