Anthony loved to go to the Retama Park Racetrack in his free time to watch horse races, every employee there knew who he was. Every Sunday he enjoyed watching the San Francisco 49ers during football season as well as the Golden State Warriors in basketball season, the San Francisco Giants in baseball season and the San Jose Sharks for Hockey season. There wasn’t a sport Anthony didn’t love. His favorite singer of all time was none other than “The King” (hence his nickname) Elvis Presley. If you were to ask him to give an impression of Elvis, he would nail it, dance moves, voice, everything.
