[edit] Biographical Information

Before he played in professional baseball, "Tony" plied his game in the city of Fall River, MA as an all around player. He played under the tutelage of Bartholomew "Bat" Shea, a Fall River police officer. "Bat" was a city league coach at the time that sent five of his players to the major leagues, the best being Tony. A police officer, Tony went on to play four years in pro ball, his first with Wilmington in the Union Association, then three years with Philadelphia in the National League. He went on to be a Chicago police officer, from which he retired. It is said his baseball card is a collectors dream as it is very rare.
