died yesterday of brain cancer at age 59. Tug was a relief pitcher for the Mets and Phillies and was the closer when the Phillies won their only World Series in 1980. He is the father of country music star Tim McGraw.
McGraw will always be remembered by NewMexiKen for his answer when asked what he would do with his World Series share — “Ninety percent I’ll spend on good times, women and Irish Whiskey. The other ten percent I’ll probably waste.”
