"Tex" Simone is someone everyone can look up to as a leader and as a person who loved his community. He gave Syracuse a team to be proud of, a team that has brought not only championships, but pride and honor to the Salt City. If it was not for "Tex," my summers would have been empty. I would not have great memories of enjoying baseball with my grandfather over hotdogs and Coca-Colas every summer. My heart would be missing a huge part.
So, here's to you Anthony "Tex" Simone. You may not be physically with us anymore, but I know your spirit will live on in every fan, every member, and every player that plays or has played with the Syracuse Chiefs. And it is sure your spirit will always be home at the ballpark. I tip my cap to you sir. Thank you and rest peacefully.
