Could Pierotti be the same person known as Al Pierotti or his brother?

I don't have much to offer, but I can tell you that, according to articles in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and St. Louis Star and Times dated March 23rd, 1921, Adolfo "Ad" Pierotti was from California. Baseball-reference.com states that Albert "Al" Pierotti was from Massachusetts; he played major league baseball in 1920 and 1921 for the Boston Braves. Adolfo was 19 in 1921, six years younger than Al; it is possible that the family could have moved. There is no mention in newspaper articles about Adolfo of a relationship between him and Al, however, so I think they were unrelated.
Also, Milt Stock signed a contract on April 12th or 13th, 1921 (and was not in camp prior to signing); the Cardinal season began on April 13th, so Stock missed the entire spring training period.
