As the number of cases continues to climb, the tragedy surrounding the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic worsens.

Sunday, that tragedy was close to home for New York sports fans.

After weeks of battling against COVID-19, beloved New York Post sports photographer Anthony Causi has passed away.

He was just 48 years old.

Causi is survived by his wife, Romina, his children, John and Mia. He also leaves behind “an army of friends that would probably fill Citi Field, Yankee Stadium and Madison Square Garden. And would probably require standing room, too,” as so eloquently worded by the New York Posts's Mike Vaccaro.

Longtime friend and Channel 4 New York sports anchor Bruce Beck spoke on Causi's character;

“He had a heart as big as anyone I've ever met. He was salt of the earth. He had a charm and a grace about him that you just don't find in many people. He would ask a Roger Clemens or a Pedro Martinez to pose for a picture and they wouldn't have done that for anybody else. But they did it for Anthony.”

Causi was a staple for the NY post for 26 years, following and documenting all things New York sports. In light of his passing, the teams that knew and loved him mourned with the city, family and friends alike;
