The SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE goes with, "San Diego-based agent Tony Attanasio was family to Bruce Bochy, Dave Stewart and others." Attanasio died Aug. 30 at 84 at his home in San Diego following a long illness. Stewart said Attanasio "had street smarts, he had common sense -- and that combination of common sense, street smarts, and intelligence is dangerous." Stewart added, “He didn’t baby me, he didn’t coddle me. He was honest, and he didn’t tell me what I thought he should hear." Bochy said, “There’s nobody else you’d want in the bunker with you."
