I just heard this morning on ESPN radio; sounds like a nasty cancer, not that any of them are any good....
Prayers to Tony and the family.
He’s had bad back problems too, in recent years. He’s needed to use a walker sometimes. I hope he makes a complete recovery and will be the coach at San Diego State for many years to come.
Time will tell. He was/ is one of the goods guys I think. He stayed with the Padres his whole career.
Having worked at a hospital with a world famous cancer wing I can attest to the fact that "head and neck" cancer is one of the worst kinds to get.
