I have one card of Anthony Barron, from 1989 Star.
Playing career: Outfielder Anthony “Tony” Barron made his
big league debut at the age of 29 in one game for the 1996 Expos. The next
season, he got into 57 games with the Phillies, hitting .286 with 4 HR and 24
RBI.
My memories: I didn’t think I remembered him, but then I saw
this blog post by a Phillies fan talking about how he hit a home run off of
Hideki Irabu in a Labor Day Weekend sweep of the Yankees by Philadelphia in the
first year of interleague play in 1997. I don’t remember that particular home
run, but I remember my family getting our first computer (we were always very
late in getting any kind of technology or appliance) and setting it up with my
dad while in the background on TV Irabu was getting belted around by the
Phillies.
Where he is now: Anyone know where Anthony Barron is now?
Google Autocomplete results: He is fourth when you type
Anthony Barro, between Anthony Barrow Hair, a hair stylist, and Anthony Barron
Nixon Peabody, a construction and real estate litigator, who most of the first
page of hits for Anthony Barron refer to.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Jeff Barry.
Gotta dig the Dodger Blue and the Vero Beach reference, right? Nice.
ReplyDeleteDodger blue why particularly them? May be because 365 football news showed cristiano ronaldo playing at dodger stadium?
