Joe was supposed to become a part of the family business, but he chose another way – and became one of the most famous sport managers in the world.

Joseph Anthony passed away in 2002. Before his departure he visited the game of Los Angeles Angels, and supported his son, who was a coach at that time. They won World Series then. Many years later Joe found that hat in his office and put it on during the game of Chicago Cubs.

Till now his father’s warmth is in his heart. Joseph Sr. was a great parent. He worked all day long and sometimes at night if some of the clients called him, but he always found the time to spend with his kids.
