Cannizaro's dad was USM standout

I had no idea. His Dad, Gary, is a USM hall of famer. Second baseman 1973-76. Interesting.

My Dad met him and his wife at the SEC tourney last week. Sat right behind him and had some great conversation about baseball. Dad said he was a hell of a guy. Super nice.

Yes and his Dad was also an assistant coach at Tulane for years.
