He Was a Troublemaker from a Young Age

Expelled from his strict Catholic school at just 14 for punching a teacher, Al Capone’s early years were marked by defiance of authority. He left formal education behind at a young age and embarked on various odd jobs to support his family, from working in candy stores to managing bowling alleys.

Yet, one of his enduring passions was baseball, which he played semi-professionally during his youth. Capone continued his involvement in the sport throughout his life, a testament to his love for the game. These early years remained relatively trouble-free until a fateful encounter set him on a path that would dramatically alter the course of his life.
