Tony Gonsolin Parents Joanne Gonsolin And Scott Gonsolin

Tony Gonsolin parents Joanne and Scott Gonsolin are former track and field athletes.

The couple, who currently reside in Brentwood, gave up on their athletic careers early on in their lives. But they raised two sons who showed utmost enthusiasm towards baseball, which led to one of them even becoming a World Series Champion.

Scott Gonsolin Worked As A Firefighter

Tony Gonsolin's father Scott Gonsolin was the Captain of the Fire Department from 2018 to 2021 in Oakland, California.

Their last name stands for "fighter," which is how Scott's family describes themselves.

A former athlete, Scott, played a couple of years of baseball before turning his attention toward track and field. If there was one thing Scott taught his son, then that was never to quit. He wanted his son to take on challenges head-on and not focus too much on what the outcome could be. 

After the Dodgers beat the Rays in the 2020 World Series Finals, his workplace sent out a congratulatory message to his son. Though he is available on Instagram, Scott hasn't updated his account since 2020. 

The firefighter is available on Twitter with the username @SGonsolin, which is dedicated to his child's achievements. The proud father shared several posts from the night Tony walked the red carpet of the All-Star game in 2022 on his Twitter handle.

Joanne Gonsolin Is A Former Distant Runner

Tony Gonsolin's mom Joanne Gonsolin is a former distant runner but did not pursue the sport after graduating from Napa High. 

In her interview with The Sacramento Bee in 2020, Joanne revealed that her son's first word was "ball," along with the usual mama and dada.

Tony is well-known for his love for cats in the sports world. It is a trait seen as a bit unnatural, as many of them are seen posing with their dogs. But Tony's love for the furry animal might have stemmed from his mother.

On her Facebook handle, Joanne has shared a couple of photos of her pet cats along with a few pictures of her own. 

Tony Gonsolin brother Andrew Gonsolin is a firefighter at the Anne Arundel County Fire Department.

Andrew, the older brother of the MLB star, decided to follow in their father's footsteps. Before Tony became a star baseball player in his family, it was his brother, Andrew, who had made a name for himself in the field.

The firefighter is four years older than his brother and the one who played the biggest influence in Tony's life. Growing up in Vacaville, California, Tony grew up saying he wanted to be like his sibling. 

Andrew was a star at Vacaville High School, and the two siblings had a friendly competition. Tony always wanted to play with his brother's team and wanted to train with his coaches. 

Andrew Gonsolin is currently married to Caitlin Gonsolin, a Captain in the United States Air Force. They tied the knot on September 21, 2019, six months after their engagement. 

The firefighter surprised her with a proposal during one of their trips from Nashville, Tennessee. Andrew is available on Facebook and his wife also lives an active social media life and frequently shares their photos on her id on Facebook. 

Tony Gonsolin family are big fans of the San Francisco Giants but that has not stopped them from supporting Tony.

And though his dad and mom might have been Giants fans, Tony's support lay with the Yankees, and he loved their shortstop, Derek Jeter. His love for the Yankees stemmed from his maternal grandmom, Marj. 

Marj would throw balls at Tony in her backyard as the youngster tried their best to take a swing. Marj loved the Yankees and would watch their games along with Tony.

The grandmother-grandson would meet every morning as Joanne would leave him there before she headed for her work.

His uncle, Steve Gonsolin, was one of the first people interviewed after his World Series win. Steve was one of the first people with whom Tony confided his feelings about wanting to become a baseball player. 

And like any other supportive uncle, Steve said he could become a baseball star if he worked hard enough. He shared this in his interview with The Napa Valley Register and revealed that his kid, Austin Gonsolin was a multi-sport athlete at Trinity Prep.

Tony hasn't revealed much about his romantic life publicly. The pitcher is unmarried and has never been seen with a partner by his side and walked the red carpet of the All-Star Game by himself. 

A fan favorite, Tony is good friends with his former teammate, Justin Turner, and was part of his foundation. The partnership between Justin and Tony has ended with Justin preferring to move away from Dodgers. But Tony and Dodgers partnership will continue as he penned a two-year contract with them.
