Hi. I was wondering how you discovered Norma New Jersey as Rosan's place of birth. The only source I found mentions his birthtown as Southern Philadelphia. http://probasketballencyclopedia.com/player/red-rosan/ Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFrom his World War 2 Draft Card.
DeleteThe website you link to only indicates hometown, not the place of birth. He definitely grew up in Philly, but was born in New Jersey.
