He would be a .350 hitter every year. Remember that he couldn’t be shifted against since he loved to go the other way. The only thing that robbed him near the end was his knees.
A true master at his craft- naturally gifted.. and made even better by studying himself. Watching clips like these take me back to the “good old days” of baseball. I know it’s still good, but... those were some good years for the sport. I miss them
Ive got his 84 Donruss from when I was a kid. One of my all time favorites. My fantasy lineup 1. Tony Gwynn 1B 2. George Brett 3B 3. Reggie Jackson RF 4. Micky Mantle CF 5. Ryne Sandberg 2B 6. Ozzie Smith SS 7. Roy Campanella C 8. Barry Bonds LF 9. Sandy Koufax P
A few years later, Teddy Ballgame convinced Tony to turn on that inside fastball. After that, Tony went from being a great hitter to the best hitter since the Splendid Splinter.
This is why Tony was such a great hitter. Studying each pitch. Great work ethic Mr. Padre.
Great player. Great person. Miss Tony Gwynn.
That was one of the greatest hitters in the big leagues. Gone but will never be forgotten!!!
Imagine what this man could do with modern ultra-slow-mo 4k cameras. Ted Williams & Tony Gwynn, the greatest pure hitters of all time.
He would be a .350 hitter every year. Remember that he couldn’t be shifted against since he loved to go the other way. The only thing that robbed him near the end was his knees.
RIP Tony. Seemed like a stand up guy and a great ball player
RIP LEGEND

People easily forget how good of a basketball player he was @ SDSU. I heard he was a pretty good hitter in his day also.
Career .338 BA.
Baseball fans across America can all agree....
SOCCER SUCKS
RIP to a great guy.
