Anthony Pfenninger (Ohio)
Anthony Pfenninger born on December 25, 1987. Grew up in a house of 5 brothers and 1 sister. He was the second oldest. The street he grew up on (Franke Road) had many cousins....to be exact 28 cousins on one street.

1990s
The 1990s for Mr.Pfenninger started with him going to school at the Academy of St.Bartholomew. Was shy young one and didn't make may friends at his time at the school. Got picked on for his big glasses and didn't get along with anybody. He would go home a lot of days upset and sometimes crying. At least had his two best buddies in his cousins that he went to school with. His best friends were Jon and Bobby. They stuck together. Jon has been his best friend before they even hit school. Anthony wasn't completely without any friends and not lonely. Had a very close family that he loved and loved helping his grandma and grandpa. Especially his grandpa and his pond. Would try to catch fish and frogs everyday. He fell in the pond a few times and always dirty. That's what young boys do. Mother spent countless hours teaching him since he had a learning disability and trying to get him up to par with the kids in his school. Anthony never really got into trouble and actually was a very polite boy. With all the surgery's and sicknesses that he has gone through and come up with.

He did play sports of baseball, football and basketball. Where his hobbies were. Collected sports cards of all kinds, and always watching the games. Learning the history and also pretending to be playing a game of football. The first 3 baseball teams he played for all made it to the championship game coming short and losing the final game of the season. Took a year leave from the game trying to play football which he was rejected for being to small and only weighing in at 50lbs and the weight requirement was 65lbs. So the next year played baseball again for the last time for another 4 years and the team didn't play so well but earned himself to the all-star team.

The first year playing football for his school The Academy of St.Bartholomew and didn't get to start but the team went undefeated till the championship game of the season and lost by the score of 12-13. Heartbreaking loss for a team, but Anthony wasn't too happy for not playing or getting any chance to play. So the next year he quit, and that was about it for football until 5 years later. Will get to that later in the biography. While his time away from sports for 2 years he had a hobby that he's had since he was 4 years old and that's playing video games and beat pretty everything that he got his hand on. Played the game systems of Sega Genesis, and Nintendo Entertainment System.

Florida Vacation
In 5th grade Anthony took a vacation with his Uncle John and Aunt Anna. Took him on a vacation to Disney World for 7 days in Florida. The ride down for him was exciting and filled with anticipation. Also the fact going down in a car with 5 people gets a little crammed and not much room to get comfortable. Played a lot of games, and from time to time they would stop for gas and some stretching. Finally stopped for a night in northern part of Florida in a hotel that over looked the ocean. Anthony fell asleep but was going to wake up early to try and catch seeing dolphins swimming or possibly whales. Anthony enjoyed and very appreciated the fact that his uncle provided him this awesome trip to Florida and got see the amazing parks of Disney and enjoyed it very much.

1990's Continued
After the fifth grade Anthony was starting to have few more friends, but his best friend/cousin Jon left to a new school. So Anthony was left with his other best friend/cousin Bobby. These years couldn't have gone any slower for him. In seventh grade Anthony was back in Baseball and started his first and only year of Basketball.
