"Fernandez has collected the most hits in franchise history but more importantly, he is a great man. As a shortstop, he could exhilarate crowds with acrobatic plays and a clutch bat. A fitness fiend, Fernandez was an athlete’s athlete and indirectly helped the Jays reach the ‘92 World Series as part of the trade package that brought in Roberto Alomar and Joe Carter." - Sportswriter Scott Carson in Positions of Power: Sportsnets baseball panel discuss the greatest Jays to play the Game (Dan Zaiontz, Source)

To my brother James. We grew up cherishing Tony Fernandez: every time we picked up a baseball bat, we would get in that low batting crouch of Tony's with the bat dangling lightly over our shoulder. - Steve
