Moe is a big man. His son Russ was still armwrestling up until about 7 or 8 years ago. Joe Carrabetta was a big scary man. LOL I know Guy Lasorsa was good friends with Dan Mason, Cleve. He had moved down to Charlotte and passed away a few years back.

I have met Moe Baker and his kids. I've met Joe Carabetta and I've heard a lot about Dan Mason through Guy Lasorsa. I've seen Harley Mainard pull on video from years back. The other two I've never seen or heard of.

WHO REMEMBERS THESE GUYS? MO BAKER, JOE CARRABETA, DAN MASON, GEORGE HOOD, HARLEY MANARD, STEVE GALUSPIE,"FORGIVE ME ON SPELLING HIS NAME" Cleve you should say who remembers besides Guy. As you know Dan Mason and i were best friends and partners Joe carebetta strong shoulder , weighed 300 Lbs benched over 600 and could do a full arm extended pushup. Harley great champion OHIO and use to like to smoke his pipe LOL Mo Baker was the man , Before Dan Mason beat him in 1975 . He had great power But not great endurance. He could also Jump out of a Barrell from the inside George Hood was Virgil arcerios counter part. George was a great defensive puller, If he stopped you 2" from the pad he had a good chance Cleve How about one from your HOME state GA. TINY WILLIAMSON |
