[4] Marone was recalled by the Pirates in May 1969, his fifth professional season, after a strong early season for the Double-A York Pirates, where he won two of three decisions and posted six saves and an earned run average of 0.93 in 17 games and 29 innings pitched, all in relief.

[5] As a Pittsburgh rookie, he appeared in 29 games allowing 24 hits and 13 bases on balls in 341⁄3 innings.

Of the ten earned runs Marone allowed in 1969, six came in two rough outings against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Altogether he split his two decisions, and gave up 26 hits in 372⁄3 innings during his big league career, with 25 strikeouts and no saves.

Marone's eight-year pro career concluded in minor league baseball, in the Pirates' organization, in 1972.
