February 19, 201610 yr He was playing in an Independent league into his 50s. He got into a brawl a few years ago. I wonder if he was ever able to conquer his addiction to the crack rock.
February 19, 201610 yr RIP Tony! Wasn't it Phillips that went into the stands after being ejected and beat up a fan because the fan was calling Phillips racial slurs? I want to say it was in Milwaukee sometime in the early-mid 90's? Edited February 19, 201610 yr by BlackSox13

February 20, 201610 yr I remember when he got busted with a crack pipe in his hand while in a hotel room across the street from the big A playing for Anaheim. It's a sad thing.
February 22, 201610 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 19, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) Sorry to hear that. He was crazy as hell but I liked him while on the Sox. People forget how good of a player he was. Would be very valuable in this era than he was when he played. Pretty much the 90's Ben Zobrist. Edited February 22, 201610 yr by SoxAce
