Dick Allen Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) 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?

The Ginger Kid Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 It took me a second to remember who he was. He was crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
