Albert Felix Pierotti (October 24, 1895 – February 12, 1964) was an American professional athlete. He played gridiron football as a center, and baseball as a pitcher. His career spanned 1920–1929 in football, and 1920–1921 in major-league baseball.

Early years

Pierotti was born in Boston on October 24, 1895,[2] and attended school in Everett, Massachusetts. He pitched a no-hitter for Everett High School in 1914.[3]

Pierotti then attended Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, where he was captain of the Generals football team, president of the athletic association, and chairman of the athletic council.[4] He earned varsity letters in four sports—football, basketball, baseball, and track[5]—and was a member of Omicron Delta Kappa.[6]

In 1918, Pierotti coached the football team at Tufts;[7][c] the team compiled a record of two wins and three losses.[8]

Washington and Lee University lists Pierotti as a member of the class of 1923,[9] having first entered the school in 1914.[10] He appears as a senior in the 1922 yearbook, which notes that he left school in 1917 "and made five attempts to enter the Service, being turned down each time."[10] It is not clear when he returned to complete his degree. He appears in a list of students awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in June 1923.[11]

Football career

Pierotti played in the American Professional Football Association (APFA) during 1920 and 1921 with the Akron Pros, Cleveland Tigers and the New York Brickley Giants.[d] Pierotti was a member of the 1920 APFA season champions with Akron.

When the AFPA became the National Football League (NFL) in 1922, Pierotti went on to play with the Milwaukee Badgers and Racine Legion through 1924. In 1926, Pierotti played for the Boston Bulldogs of the American Football League (AFL), an NFL rival started by Red Grange and his agent C. C. Pyle. After the Bulldogs folded, Pierotti played semi-professional football for the University of Peabody.[12] He returned to the NFL in 1927 with the Providence Steamrollers and completed his football career with the NFL's Boston Bulldogs in 1929.

Teams

Pierotti began his professional baseball career in 1919 with the minor-league Providence Grays of the Eastern League.[13] The following season, he joined the Boston Braves in August, appearing in six games. His lone major-league victory came in a 3–2 win over the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds on September 27, 1920, when he allowed two runs on six hits and struck out three batters in a complete game effort.[14] The Giants' defeat eliminated them from the pennant race.[15]

Pierotti pitched in two games for the Braves in 1921, before returning to the Eastern League with the Pittsfield Hillies.[13] After one more season, split between Pittsfield and the Waterbury Brasscos,[13] Pierotti returned to football full-time. Overall with the major-league Braves, Pierotti compiled a 1–2 win–loss record with a 4.05 earned run average (ERA) while striking out 13 batters in 26+2⁄3 innings pitched.[16]

Wrestling career

In 1931, Pierotti began appearing in professional wrestling matches.[17] On July 30, 1931, he challenged Jim Londos for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Coney Island Velodrome. Londos defeated Pierotti in 17:05 with an airplane spin.[18] In 1932, Pierotti began refereeing matches at the Boston Arena while continuing to wrestle occasionally.[19]

Later life

In 1935, Pierotti became an assistant football coach at Chelsea High School.[20] In 1936, he became head coach of the school's baseball team.[21] From October 1936 to September 1938, he also hosted a "sports talk" radio show on WMEX.[22][23] Pierotti remained at Chelsea High School as a teacher and baseball coach until his death on February 12, 1964.[24] He was survived by his wife.[24]

Pierotti was inducted to the athletic hall of fame at Washington and Lee University in 1966.[9]

Boundary cell

Boundary cells (also known as border cells or boundary vector cells) are neurons found in the hippocampal formation that respond to the presence of an environmental boundary at a particular distance and direction from an animal. The existence of cells with these firing characteristics were first predicted on the basis of properties of place cells. Boundary cells were subsequently discovered in several regions of the hippocampal formation: the subiculum, presubiculum and entorhinal cortex. Fir...
