Tony Pena, Sr., the All Star catcher, former manager of the Kansas City Royals and currently coaching for the New York Yankees, received the phone call all dads would love to hear: "Dad, I was called up to the big leagues!"

TJ was playing with Richmond, in the AAA International League, and batting .286 while playing outstanding defense at shortstop.
