I remember Tony C as one of the KGO Channel 7 sports guys when I was a kid growing up in the SF bay area in the mid 70's. I figured he'd played ball at some point but I didn't know until sometime later about the terrible beaning and how fabulous he had been.

He was an OK sports guy on the news but I didn't like him as much as some of the others. He always seemed so intense and it was like he wasn't having any fun.

I remember hearing about his stroke (I was a senior in high school) and then his death 8 years later. Sad story.

Good luck to him in your sim. Gone but not forgotten.
