New York Post Sports Photographer Anthony Causi Dies of Coronavirus at 48

Anthony Causi, a sports photographer from the New York Post, died Sunday at the age of 48 due to the coronavirus, according to Ken Davidoff of the New York Post.

Stephen Lynch, the newspaper's editor-in-chief, provided a statement:

"Anthony Causi was our colleague, our friend, and a brilliant journalist. He was, quite simply, one of the best sports photographers in New York City, capturing all the major moments of the past 25 years. Soft-spoken, funny, but most of all kind—he was respected by those he photographed and admired by those with whom he worked."

Causi covered a wide variety of teams, including the Yankees, Mets, Giants, Jets, Knicks and Rangers.

Former New York Yankees players Didi Gregorius and Curtis Granderson were among those who gave tribute:

Others posted some of his most memorable photos from recent years:

Causi first joined the New York Post in 1994, working his way up from a photo messenger to a full-time journalist photographer.

Davidoff noted: "Causi is survived by his wife, Romina, and their children John, five, and Mia, two, as well as his parents, Lucille and John Causi, and sisters Maria Marangelli and Dianna Marotto."
