Tony's Double Life Fueled By Carpentry And Country Music
Tony, a gifted but small pitcher eyed by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1856 and 1857, pursued baseball while apprenticing as a carpenter. He later formed the Country Generation, fronting a nightly band, writing songs, and balancing work with music, aiming for a Glen Campbell recording of his ballad It Hurts Me Just as Much.
