The best hitter of our time I believe.  Dead at 54.. How tragic!

RIP Tony..

One of the best hitters all-time.  Also seemed like a great person we need more like him in sports today.  :'(

I shook his hand at a baseball tourney down in San Diego about 10 years ago and got to listen to him talk baseball for about an hour. It was a great experience. A great ballplayer for sure!

Sad news. I am not much of a baseball fan, but it doesn't take one to see how classy a guy he was. Always smiling, always ready to play. We won't see another like him for a long time. RIP
