1996 Paradise Pisces

Gregory Corso, Shortstop


American Poet
Born March 26, 1930
Died January 17, 2001


This poet was born in New York's Greenwich Village. At the ripe old and sophisticated age of 16, Mr. Corso landed in jail for stealing. At 20, Corso met Allen Ginsberg who liked the prison writing of this non-conformist Beat Generation writer. Levi Asher, keeper of an excellent Beatnik gateway- Literary Kicks on the World Wide Web, describes Corso:

"More famous then [1950s-60s] than he is now, he has a standing alongside Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs that is sort of comparable to Zeppo's standing alongside Groucho, Harpo, and Chico. That is, he isn't one of the big three, but if you want a big four, he's the fourth"

Corso comes to the Pisces after two seasons with the Dharma Beats. He was a rookie in 1983, but didn't play again until last season.
