Default Tony Graziano - 103 Years Old today.

For those who have been to Canastota, New York during Induction Weekend, there's no way you COULDN'T have run into old Tony at some point or another. Likely he brought your food or your beer out to you, chatted up your wife/girlfriend for a bit, and then ran back to the kitchen to cook up another batch of his tomat'er sauce for the pizza/pasta.

Will I go so far as to say it was pretty good sauce...........probably not ....but it was worth it for the atmosphere, the cheap beer, the camaraderie and the constant stream of Legendary boxers who walked in the side door and mingled with us common folk for hours on end.

He also owned the Parking lot (and motel) where most of the biggest (and smallest) Boxing Memorabilia deals in history got done, during that long weekend.

Thanks for sharing. I never made induction weekend but made it there twice in the 90s and we ate there both times he sat and talked with us basically the whole time. Great memories.
