A star at John Adams, Slattery found his high school basketball end abruptly when the coaching staff at Adams HS walked off the job before the end of his senior year. Slattery had been offered scholarships to various colleges (St John's, Ohio State, Bowling Green, Annapolis), but they were all rescinded when his grades dropped during his senior year. In September of 1951, he was dealt more bad luck when his father, Michael, died suddenly. Unable to play college ball, he was approached to play professionally with the Washingon Capitols in December of 1951. He played in three games and the team disbanded shortly thereafter. He joined the New Jersey Americans, an independent club featuring Alex Groza and Gerry Calabrese, but the club disbanded before play. In 1952, he got called in to tryout for the New York Knicks, but was one of the last cuts prior to the 1952-53 season. He would stay in sports as a referee and an umpire (he was even a umpire in Major League Baseball when the regular umpires went on strike and replacement (i.e. scab) umpires were brought in. He worked as a bartender and a host at the Richmond Inn in Queens for many years, well-known for his outgoing personality.

The Capitols were once an NBA franchise, and in their debut season in 1946-47, they won the BAA regular season title before losing in the semi-finals. Two years later, they lost to the Minneapolis Lakers in the BAA finals. When the BAA merged with the NBL in 1949-50, the Caps saw their record slide. In the next season, they team didn't even make it through January, folding in January 9, 1951. The ownership decided to revamp the club for the 1951-52 seasons and join the smaller ABL. The Caps played great, running out to a 10-3 start. However, financially, the club didn't draw well and once again chose January to call it quits, despite handily being in second place. This time, the Capitols would not resurface.

After high school, where Lyons was a basketball star (he held the city scoring record until broken by Wilt Chamberlain) as well as a baseball star, Eddie enrolled at Temple but quickly went off to the U.S. Army to fight in World War 2. The war ended a couple months after Lyons enlisted, and he was discharged and signed to pitch in the Cincinnati Reds farm system. At this time, he also played pro basketball in the ABL to keep fit in the off-season. He was a fixture around New England on the ball diamond, playing for 18 years not just there but also in Canada and the Mid-Atlantic states, but he never made it to the major leagues. He would become a coach in the Cape Cod league and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2000 as the second-winningest manager in league history. He would also coach high school and college baseball, as was a mentor and a positive role model for scores of young athletes. He and his wife, Kay, had three daughters, but they always joked that they also had hundreds of sons.

Caruso went to St. Michael's in Union City before heading off to college. He played basketball for various pro outfits before entering the U.S Army during World War 2. After the war, he played some but went into coaching.
In 1950, Caruso was hired by Saint Peter's College to baseball and basketball, and after a year there left for Mount St. Mary's as a assistant football coach as well as basketball coach. He lead Mount St. Mary's to the Mason-Dixon league title, but was fired in April of 1951 following a "policy disagreement" when he scheduled an unauthorized game after the season. He would coach at the U.S. Maritime Acadmey until his death in 1965. I have yet to find the circumstances surround his early passing.
