Administrative Assistant
"A retired sales and purchasing executive, Vinnie Swerc has been affiliated with the Giants since the 1933 season ... giving him four decades of being around the club. During that period, Swerc has assisted in many ways, initially working in the clubhouse on game days and assisting on the field, and now as a full-time administrative assistant at the club's Pace University training facility where he assists in such areas as preparation of contracts, purchasing orders and public relations, as well as continuation of his game day work during the season in the clubhouse and on the field.
Vinnie is a native of Elm Park, Staten Island, graduated from Port Richmond High School there and played on championship basketball teams in the Staten Island area for several years thereafter. His arrival with the Giants in 1933 coincided with that of Ken Strong, the NYU All-American. Swerc served for many years as the head of sales and as a purchasing agent for George H. McFaddon Cotton Merchants in New York until his retirement in 1972.
Vinnie lives in Port Richmond and his favorite pastime, other than the Giants, is travel, particularly in the Caribbean area."
