[b]Bio/Personality[/b]: 

Tony Rossi is competitive to his core, but has lost his ability to compete at the one thing he was good at. He was born into the Rossi family, an Italian family with rumors that have been circling their heads since the 20s. They have been a steady name in Delta City for decades, however, given their ability to adapt with the times. They owned one of the most popular speakeasies in Delta City in the 20s, and transitioned to a popular bar in the war era. The Rossi family once owned a theater that has since closed down, but most recently purchased the space for a multi-faceted entertainment venue called "Frankie's Ballroom Arcade."

None of this ever really mattered to Tony. From a young age he knew he was good at Baseball, and put everything he had into it. Tony's nature ever since he was a kid was to push himself to his very limits and try to be the best at whatever he deemed important. His family's unspecified amount of wealth and tenuous connections afforded Tony every opportunity. He attended HBS for one year before his parents rented him an apartment in Miami and enrolled him in a private school to ensure he was competing at the highest level in Florida. He ended up pitching for the Corsairs for two seasons before being traded and moving up to the Major League with the Atlanta Braves. He was one of the relief pitchers, and developed a very small following compared to some of the greats elsewhere in the league.

Tony enjoyed the lifestyle. He had a good time whether or not he had a game the following day, and usually spent his time in the bull pen sobering up to deliver a couple strikouts near the end of the game. He worked hard and played hard, and the strain of it all cost him severely. A knee injury was the death sentence for his baseball career, and cost him his contract with the Braves. Without an arena to compete in, Tony has dedicated himself to running Frankie's and keeping the establishment relevant in the late 1980s. That being said, Tony's "work hard and play hard" mentality hasn't died with his career. When 8pm rolls around, Tony is often seen mingling and enjoying the night with anyone else who enjoys the nightclub life.

[b]Recent History[/b]:

Tony's life changed drastically a little over a year ago. His knee injury near the end of the 1987 season ended his dreams of continuing his baseball career. He was still well off and had enough connections back in Delta City to purchase a smaller place in Seminole Shores. Most of the Rossi family has moved into Miami or up towards New Jersey. Among those who have made the preparations to move away was Tony's uncle, Franklin "Frankie" Rossi. Frankie was liquidating his assets quickly to move North, and was happy to talk Tony into purchasing the family business for cheap.

Tony has spent the last nine months rebranding Frankie's into an attraction for those involved in Delta City's nightlife. With help from his uncle, he managed to secure a liquor license and renovated the entire second floor into a nightclub that opened after 8pm. While this move has kept the establishment afloat, Tony has been having difficulty shaking off the festering image he's developed of himself as just another washed up athlete. Well, at least he wasn't coaching at HBS yet.
