On Wednesday, Dec. 4, the Italian American Baseball Federation will be honoring Joe Girardi, Frank Catalanotto and Natalie Spedaliere at its fourth annual Gala Dinner at Giando’s on the water in Brooklyn, NY

ESNY caught up with Ms. Spedaliere, this year’s IABF “Sports Executive Of The Year.”

“I’ve always said, ‘I should have been a boy.’”

Spedaliere jokes as she reminisces about her upbringing in the Bronx and attending New York Yankees games with her father as a child.

“I love all sports, but baseball is my No. 1,” she said.
