Default RIP Tony

I had the pleasure, as a teenager, to meet Tony in 1985. He attended a card show run by my father and his partner. He told us it was his first time at a card show. He was, arguably, the nicest player I ever met. I think both he and Musial were about on the same level. Truly a throwback type of player. He was hard working, humble, and generous. He was also a damn fine player. He will be missed by all.
