Just wanted to clear out that the "Mr. Padre" Statue of Tony Gwynn was not built 2 years after his passing, it was built in 2007, the same year he was inducted, people gathered at the statue the same day he died during and after the game to give his respects and bring flowers, i was there that day, you could also see a "19" light hanging from a window in an appartment of a building in the skyline across centerfield, the giant screen zoomed on it for all the fans to watch and at the end of the game, they played "My way" from Frank Sinatra along with Tony Gwynn's career highlights.

Tony Gwynn is, without a doubt, one of the greatest hitters of his time. I will always remember that scorching 2 run double in Game 5 of the 1984 NLCS, the no-doubt moonshot in the 1998 WS, and the back-to-back-to-back homers early in the 1987 season (Marvell Wynne, Tony Gwynn, and John Kruk would hit 'em). I obtained my bachelor's degree the same day he got his 3,000th hit as well. And to borrow an expression used by longtime Padres broadcaster, Jerry Coleman, Gwynn's career...you can hang a star on that baby.

Boggs was still great even after the trade to the Yankees, but Gwynn kept winning batting crowns. I thought Gwynn was robbed in 1993, when the expansion year of the Rockies at Coors Field helped out Andres Galarraga who had never hit that high. But yea 8 Batting Crowns, you won't see that many ball players hit over .350 in a season again, and he did it seven times.

One day I was at a game in Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati and sitting in right field stands awhile before first pitch. Tony had walked over and was talking the bullpen catcher just a few feet away from the seats. Just being silly I yelled to Gwynn "(Mario) Soto says he's gonna fit you for the golden sombrero today!" , ( knowing full well how incredibly unlikely that scenario was, despite Soto's ability) Tony yells back ' my head is too big ' and laughs that Tony Gwynn signature laugh. It really made me realize that this is a good guy with a sense of humor and who puts on no airs. I was surprised he acknowledged my goofy comment at all and certainly didn't expect him to reply with his own funny line. I was a admirer before that but afterwards he was my favorite athlete not playing for the Reds

so the year of his 1000th hit, if i can remember correctly, he had a conversation with Ted Williams. In that conversation they discussed pull hitting, homeruns, and making the pitcher pitch you your pitch. Tony struggled with this new adaptation to his skill set. When he did perfect it (resulting in 5+ homeruns in a short amount of time) he eventually went back to his hitting style thus regaining ground on his batting average. To paraphrase the conversation, make the pitcher pitch inside so you pull it over the wall(homerun). Once you've done that multiple times they won't pitvh you there and you can caontinure to dominate the rest of the plate as you see fit.

He also managed to win one Silver Slugger in a year where he didn’t win a batting title: 1986 (.329). Damn what a career. Further edit: what the hell were NL pitchers taking in 1988 where a .313 wins a battle title? Kirk Gibson won the MVP that year hitting .290 with 25 HR!

@@Cam23 as I wrote, it is surprisingly low given his batting average. That doesn't mean .388 isn't a good OBP. Take Carew and Boggs for comparison. Both have lower averages and a higher on-base percentages. Your assertion that he wasn't taking a walk because he could slap it the other way is missing the fact that he was slapping those into someone's glove. We know he barely struck out but he walked less than expected too. It seems like he was connecting no matter what and letting it up to the fielders to decide if he got in base
@Cam23
Жыл бұрын
Carew’s .393 OBP is slightly better and his BA is 10 points lower. Boggs is the player more worthy of being in the conversation of an extremely high BA and OBP, at .415. To me, OPS+ is a much better indicator of overall success, and as luck would have it they all are within 1 point of each other. To each their own opinion, but OBP isn’t an end all be all stat. And when we’re talking about OBP’s that are .380 or higher, it feels strange saying one was “bad” at it relatively speaking. They both have their strong suits. I’ll take a guy who puts the ball in play 99% of the time, and all 3 players check that box.

Out of the dozens of Hall of Famers I've met, Gwynn ws BY FAR the nicest I ever met. It was his induction weekend 2007. Most players drive or walk by you and you'll get a wave at most. Ryne Sandberg usually signed and talked with fans, but that was it really as far as consistently friendly Hall members. But Gwynn stopped by, signed for all roughly 40 fans, talked with us, and even joked with me. I made a comment about hitting 20 seasons about 300, and he said he only hit 19 above 300, but he was willing to take the 20 season total if I was crediting him with it. It's a shame he died so young. Guys like Randy Johnson won't even look in the fans' directions, let alone stop and talk with people. These days, if you want an autograph at Cooperstown, you're going to probably pay a few hundred bucks (the cheapest autos last year was non-HOFer Dwight Gooden for $20 or $25), with Jeter and Mo costing you $300 a piece. Gwynn was the perfect face of baseball for fans. I hope people remember him as not only a one-of-a-kind player who was a dominant contact hitter, but as a great dude as well.

Also, to be clear, this isn't all on the players, the teams these days are too anxious to dump veterans in the name of payroll efficiency. Take the Rays for example. Very well run organization, they contend every year on a limited budget, but they don't keep anyone around for very long to build ties to the community, so as a Rays fan, you're left rooting for the uniforms, not the people in them, which isn't a very appealing way to sell a team or a sport.

One of most satisfying things was watching Tony come up to the plate in clutch situations. He had this incredible ability to seemingly always deliver whenever we needed a clutch hit to drive in one or more runs. It seemed like he NEVER failed in those situations, and it didn't matter if it was against a right or left handed pitcher. It didn't even matter if the pitcher got 2 strikes on Tony. 2 strikes did not bother Tony at all, in fact he somehow seemed to get even better with 2 strikes on him. Tony was the greatest.

I knew (not well) Chris Gwynn at SDSU. Was a huge fan of Tony. Greatest hitter I ever saw along with many games watching Rod Carew. I can't decide who was the best.

One of the all-time Greats. I was priviledged to have seen him in his prime. Rest in Peace Mr. Padre.

Great video. I grew up in SD while Gwynn was playing. He was one of my role models; not only because of his talent but because of his perseverance, determination, and hard work, all while he had a smile on his face. Thank you for the video. I never met him but I still miss that man to this day.

He had attributes that we should all aspire to have. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

I grew up watching him, I'm a A's fan but how he hit as a non power hitter was perfect. He retired the year I graduated high school.

Tony is one of those guys no matter if you were a Padres fan you could root for him!

I never knew this until my dad told me. He was also called 5.5 because he would most of the time hit between the shortstop and third baseman

I got to see him play a lot at Jack Murphy Stadium when I was a kid. All very good seats, and yes he was one of my favorite players
