Comments: Tony is the first samoan professional baseball player. He played many years in the big leagues and in Japan. Tony’s power was rivaled by the great Mickey Mantle while he was with the Yankees. An inspiring leader and compassionate person, Tony started little league, along with other leagues such as the PAL flag football league, in American Samoa, which opened many opportunities for many young players. This website is in a sense a direct descendant of Tony.
