What a badass!! "Swing the k**b and the barrel will follow." This guy was a tremendous hitter, the best contact hitter post-1940. In 1995 he came to the plate 535 times and struck out a grand total of 15. Think about that!!?? 15 in 535??!! In his 5 best years with 2 strikes he hit .335!!!??? With 2 strikes!!?? That's insane. Oh, and lifetime with 2 strikes he was around .300 if I am not mistaken. Also, he wasn't juiced out of his mind, played against juiced pitchers, and looked like he was playing pool out there and could place the ball wherever he wanted. He has incredible eye-sight and bat control. It is a national tragedy he has passed because with all of his baseball greatness you cannot find a single person who doesn't say glowing things about Tony's heart and overall kindness to everyone. I am saddened for his family and friends and feel privileged to have watched him hit a baseball. - By a Fan, Liam G.
