When baseball season came along Tony said very humbly, “Hey come check me out.”
He said it in a very friendly manner.
He told me, “You know what man, you got a chance to be real special here.”
When baseball season came around I read about him in The Daily Aztec, so that’s when I learned he had some talent in baseball as well.
When a freshman starts, usually seniors don’t like it. Tony kept others off of my back long enough so that I could prove to the other seniors that I was worthy.
