    One of the greatest players ever in MLB. Played his entire 20 year career in San Diego when he could have gone other places for a lot more money, especially later in his career when his knees were shot. Also, one of the nicest guys to ever play the game. Never forgot it was the fans that paid his check, not the club owners. Always willing to sign autographs for the fans. I had the privilege of knowing Tony the last 3 years of his career while working on field security for the Padres. He always had a kind word for the guys that worked the field. Great man and sad we lost him so soon.

    Eight batting titles
    Seven times leading the Majors in hits
    Struck out just 434 times in his career
    Over 2400 games played for San Diego
    Tony Gwynn was one of a kind as a lead off hitter.

      I remember when the Yankees played San Diego in the world series. You knew the Yankees were going to win. (How often do they lose?). But they interviewed the Yankee players before the start of the World series. And they all pretty much said the same thing. "Hey man, we got Tony Gwynn coming in!"

    If Tony Gwynn had been in the game, for each of Nolan Ryan's 7 no hitters. Nolan Ryan would have had 19 one hitters..

    RIP Tony. One of the best hitters to ever play the game. And a super nice guy. Class act. Top tier.

    I think part of what made him such a great hitter was just his desire to go for anything and everything he thought was hittable. Most hitters will let a less than ideal pitch go by if they think its likely a ball. Tony didn't want to leave his fate up to the umpire.

    I love how he hits everything and it's not all about exit velocity, seen a lot of people trying to compare Gwen to modern-day hitters you just can't

    Anthony Keith "Tony" Gwynn (May 9,1960-June 16,2014) set the standard for contact hitting.⚾🇺🇸

    THE BEST HITTER in the modern era. if not of all time.

    Look at 10:46. Tony's teammate wanted to be the hero. He's still walking towards the plate to get ready to hit despite Gwynn driving in the game winning run. There's a mound of Padres celebrating behind the hitter. Weird!

    • @michaelcaruso4055

      It was the go-ahead run. The game wasn't over yet. And it was Steve Garvey, and he still had an at-bat to worry about. That's how professionals work.
      Your welcome

      What do you mean Steve Garvey had an bat to worry about? Tony Gwynn hit a two-run single to end the ball game... You can clearly hear the announcer say the Padres won the ball game! Padres won 5-3!

      ​@michaelcaruso4055 are you okay?

  • @michaelcaruso4055
    @michaelcaruso4055 11 месяцев назад +4

    Never see another like him.
    He could've made so much more had he tested the market, and THAT'S what sets him apart from the whiny, overpaid spoiled brats playing today.
    Best pure hitter aside from Teddy Ballgame.
    R.I.P Anthony Keith Gwynn

    That 0:52 base knock by Tony is one of the finest base hits ever

    Alou couldn't believe he got gunned down at 3rd from deep right center by Tony Gwynn's had to be perfect throw. There's never been anyone that hit the ball harder right at someone for an out more than T. Gwynn

    Just amazing @1:40 look at where that pitch was

    • @michaelcaruso4055
      @michaelcaruso4055 11 месяцев назад

      Almost impossible to reach, especially being a lefty against Randy Johnson. Unbelievable

  • @billb5690

    One of the best contact hitters of all time.

  • @Trashman702
    @Trashman702 8 месяцев назад

    Amazing. He was such a pure hitter and a pretty strong man, that he didn’t hit more home runs. Not trying to hit one, but just his swing admins solid contact didn’t produce natural power

  • @nomibe2911
    @nomibe2911 13 дней назад

    Imagine the money he would've made had he tested the market

    Greatest hitter ever and great person too. Don't want to hear about Cobb or Williams, neither faced the pitching he did, especially Cobb.

    • @michaelcaruso4055
      @michaelcaruso4055 11 месяцев назад

      2 different types of hitters. Ichiro belongs in the conversation.

    • @dantemackey7471
      @dantemackey7471 8 месяцев назад

      What are you talking about ichiro isn't close to Tony gwynn... The man has 3000 hits in Major League baseball in 1500 hits in Japanese professional baseball... You might have to flip a coin to see who's the better hitter.

    • @michaelcaruso4055
      @michaelcaruso4055 8 месяцев назад

      @dantemackey7471 you bring up valid points. Both were contact hitters that were both beloved.
      Ichiro definitely has him on longevity
