Best thing about Tony wasn't his play, it was him as a person. That can't be said a lot about many players. He enjoyed talking to people about real things and getting away from baseball stuff. He never seemed to come across as not having time for others, and was always ready to help kid with anything baseball or whatever. Truly a sad day in San Diego, and the Baseball world.
