Actionjackson, you reminded me of some memories. I loved him not only due to his amazing defense, but also because he was a doubles and, especially, a triples machine.

I remember, when he got traded with McGriff for Alomar and Carter I was so upset. Of course pretty much no one really knew how good Alomar would become (Carter was by far the bigger name at the time) and while McGriff was possibly the headliner leaving, I was far more upset about losing Tony. I remember being sad, upset, angry, all the emotions. But then when we got him back and he won a championship with us, all was forgiven. I wish he had been a Jay his entire career, but then again we probably wouldn't have experienced those championships without what we got for him.

Thanks, Tony. You gave us so many great memories.
