For those on the East coast they really didn't get to see Tony play too much, let me tell you a story to help illustrate how great he was. My boss, who's family had Dodger season tickets from the time the stadium opened, gave me her 4 tickets for a day game against the Padres. These tickets were about 6 rows up and about 3 feet up the first base line. Yeah, they were that good. Anyway, Tony comes up the first time and promptly slaps a base hit in the 5.5 hole. Next time up, the 3B cheats a bit over to his left, but tony slaps another base hit in the 5.5 hole. Third time up, 3b cheats just a little more and the SS cheats over to his right...boom, another slap right through the same hole. Last time up, the 3b waits till the last minute and starts moving over and boom Tony hits it over the 3b bag for extra bases. He didn't use a bat, he used a wand. What a great hitter.
