RIP Tony Gwynn

Quote:This guy was such a phenomenal player and a true fan of the game. 

 

At an All Star game several years back in Boston, Ted Williams was brought out in a wheel chair.  Gwynn was more excited to see him there and to meet him than he was about the game itself.  It was great to watch him. What was even better is the microphones were picking up the conversation very faintly, and he and Williams were talking about batting techniques.  It was a hoot to see two of the best ever sharing tips. 

 

RIP
 

I remember that All-Star game. Two greats, simply talking about a common passion, hitting a baseball.

 

Tony Gwynn was a pleasure to watch, and not only a great hitter, he was a great ambassador for the game of baseball

 

54, younger than me. It hardly seems possible.

 

RIP Tony Gwynn.
