He did it!
Anthony Louis Aquaro, the super senior married to the former Gloria Polizzi the love of his life for 77 years, has officially rounded the century mark.
Born in Brooklyn on Feb. 27, 1921, the brand new centenarian had excelled in baseball, and many believe Anthony could have gone pro had he not chosen to enlist in the military.
