NAVY INDUCTS PACKY ROGERS, EX-PIONEER
Packy Rogers, popular third baseman for the Elmira Pioneers during 1935-36-37 and part of ’38, passed his pre-induction examination at Binghamton Thursday and was accepted by the Navy. Granted 21 days to arrange his home affairs, Packy then expects to report at Sampson for training.
Although playing baseball under the name of Rogers, Packy’s real name is Stanley Hazinski. He lives at 964 Walnut St.
The aggressive and popular player, now 30 years old, played with Portland in the pacific Coast League last season and then was traded to Buffalo of the International League. The Bisons indicated a further trade for Packy was in order, but these plans apparently fell through.
Several years ago Packy married Miss Helen Carroll, daughter of Patrolman and Mrs. Edward P. Carroll. The Rogers have three children, John Edward, 5; Carol Ann, 3 ½ and Patty, 11 months.
Thursday night Packy appeared jubilant over his shift of uniforms and indicated he would do his best in Navy service, just as he had always given his best to baseball. "I haven’t gone yet, of course," said Packy, "but I want the baseball fans of Elmira to know I’ll be thinking of them and wishing the best for the Pioneers and their new manager, my friend Al Todd."
