I am Tony Lockhart: born in Chicago to a family of athletes (maybe I was adopted)!? Just kidding! It's a wonderful family built on patience and love. I moved to Texas in 1986 to get a feel for life in the South. I return to Chicago every other summer to get some real food in my system(pizza,foot-long hot dogs, and REAL White Castle hamburgers)! I have a wonderful wife of nearly seven years. One day we will be parents,I DO believe strongly in family and look forward to playing ball with my future son, although my wife wants a daughter!
