Chicago White Sox all-time roster Ted Lepcio played most of his professional career with the Boston Red Sox. He was generally a utility infielder who could play second, third or short. After he retired in 1961, Ted became a vice president with a New England trucking company. Ted remained active in baseball and often chaired Boston Red Sox events. His best year was 1956 when he hit 15 home runs, nine in an eighteen day stretch. Ted was born in Utica, New York and at one time played semi-pro baseball in Oneida, New York. He was at the time a student at Seton Hall University. Ted is mentioned in Jimmy Piersall's book, "Fear Strikes Out", as his roomate during the stormy 1952 season when Piersall had to be hospitalized with mental issues. Ted often saved Jimmy from getting beat up by his own teammates.ources
