1970: Action shot of the VFW Mt. Auburn - Tigers vs Moms Game (Minor League).

This was a busy day for us. It was a doubleheader. Earlier in the day, we ran our season's record to 4-0.

We went on to be undefeated that season at 12-0, with me as the Pitcher. We would eventually win the

Minor League - City Championship, against North Cambridge, at Comeau Field on Rindge Ave.

1972: A live - action shot.

Sorry for the poor quality. It was taken with a cheap camera, of that era. Cheap Camera technology wasn't the same, as it is today!

I debated putting this on here, because of the poor quality. But, ultimately decided, why not!

My Number 22: Me again - The TC of  TCGraphics; A.K.A. Tony C.

I've worn the number "22" (with the exception of two Softball teams) throughout my entire, 35-year,

Baseball/Softball Career. Right up until my forced retirement in 2004, due to multiple ruptured discs.
