Black Watch and Hamyltowne, my former usernames, are tartan patterns. Nothing to do with any race or any city.

Tanner wrote:I started following baseball in 1990, so I missed Tony's prime in Toronto, but caught his returns in 1993, 1998-99, and 2001. I remember being so relieved that Darrin Jackson was traded (he was awful) and we got Tony back to replace an injured Dick Shoefield (who was also awful that year). Fernandez was exactly what that 1993 team needed at SS. That lineup to this day remains one of the best I have ever seen, and we didn't even get the good version of Rickey Henderson for those two months. I wasn't familiar with Tony's 80's run with the Jays since it was before my time, but it definitely ages well. Amazing ball player.
Tony was always amazing. Somebody should look up his stats for hitting with runners in scoring position.
