Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn busts the balls of a rude autograph seeker! 

I love it! Tony called out this entitled ebay seller for his rude behavior like a boss!

Telling a guy off in the most respectful way! I miss this guy may he RIP

He handled it like a true gentleman.... Now if I was there...... :) R.I.P. Love you Mr. Gwynn and we will all miss you

It's sad that the shout out I give to Tony is posthuomous. All the credit to his parents for raising an incredible human being.

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS AND TODAY.......YOU RE-INFORCED IT! GOOD JOB MR. GWYNN!

RIP Tony Gwynn.

I had the honor of providing personal security for Mr. Gwynn at Qualcomm. Had I been there at that signing working security, I would have escorted that bum out of the building and had him arrested for disorderly conduct. Rest up Mr. Padre.

Tony Gwynn was a class act.

Tony was the man!

Tony Gwynn was such a class act.

People should never have mistaken Tony's humility for him being a pushover. He was far from it as we see here in how he handled this clown. That's what made him so great because it made him like one of us. This world will not be the same without Anthony Keith Gwynn in it. What a devastating loss for all of us. RIP Tony.

The Car Dealership should have had their manager ask the jerk to leave

I've met Tony Gwynn twice and he was one of the coolest baseball players I've ever met. I legitimately cried after I found out he passed.

The professional autographer hawking merch has ruined experience for fans all over the sports. They're just as bad as those ticket scalpers.

Not a curse word from Tony, and he even has the patience to politely explain why he’s annoyed to the guy. He was always classy.

What a guy Tony was. Never mistake his kindness for weakness.

Autograph hunters are a real despicable bunch.

Knowing Tony Gwynn for over 40 years, i can tell you he was the product of two wonderful parents. From when he was on the Hornets, his first baseball team to watching him inducted into Cooperstown. He was the kid who would give you a ride on his bicycle handle bars so you didn't have to walk home from Silverado park. He was the kindest person you could ever meet. I will always love Tony Gwynn and I miss seeing you. David

These guys, pro athletes, are human beings. A lot of people forget this or don't even care.

Probably a guy getting autographs to sell them and not even a true fan of Tony Gwynn.

Tony used to come into a Subway on the semi regular I worked at when I was in college that was close to The Murph. He was always very polite and kind. Sometimes people would ask for autographs as he was eating, sometimes when he was there with other people. He would politely explain that he would sign when he was done eating but he was with his wife etc. Once a guy kept bothering him and I asked the guy to leave the store. After he was done Tony thanked me, wrote a quick note to the owner stating that I helped him and his wife out and took a picture with me on one of those disposal cameras the owner kept in the store. He was a class act all the way.

one of the nicest guys ever. if Tony Gwynn is upset with you, you really screwed up.

Don’t know why the algorithm sent me here, but I’m all for it!

tony was still pissed because the guy just stood there and took it, still expecting the signature, i hate people like that, didn't learn anything, no humility, no shame, no apology, no nothing, just acting like it's his world and everyone else is in it for him. tony gwynn was a class act and one of the greatest players ever, 8 batting titles and 5 golden gloves.

When Ted Williams respects you enough to choose you to talk to at the 99 All Star game surrounded by many other greats then you know this is a man you better admire and don't try to take advantage of.

Tony Gwynn doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Even as a HOF what he did is underrated. Look at that career BA! Miss this dude!

Tony was a class act. I sent three cards/letters for him to autograph over three different years in the mid-90's. This was the height of his career and popularity and he still signed them and sent them back. I sent out a lot of cards in those days, and I got back very few of them. I have tried to teach my kids about sending away cards to today's players, and we have yet to receive one in two years of sending. Tony was a great example of how to handle himself on and off the field. I wish more guys would try to follow his example.

I absolutely Love it! "If I don't want to sign it, I ain't gonna!" I met/worked with Tony Gwynn at an event during the 2009 MLB All Star Game. I worked for a company that put on an event for the game. We were lucky enough to bring him in among other HOFers..... I met a lot of athletes and celebrities during my time at that job. He was easily one of my favorites. Incredibly nice, super accomodating to all of his fans and autograph seekers. After the event he approached me and asked if I wanted anything signed (which he did not have to, he fulfilled his obligation). I asked for a picture with him. I was lucky enough to get that picture with him and Bruce Sutter, who was the other MLB HOFer at that particular event. Both guys were awesome to work with!!! I did end up getting a signed ball from both BTW.

Crazy that he was going through so many health related problems...yet kept his cool and handled it with class like everything else he did.Heck of a player but an even better person. #Pureclass

i like how he said to the guy, "there are other people in line sir", hinting to him that he was holding up the line, shows how much respect he had for the fans. Him and Kirby Puckett were my 2 favorite players growing up, very humble guys, didnt let the fame get to their heads.

thats a hall of famer right there! treat the @$$ hat accordingly, and treat the kids awesome!

The nerve of this autograph seeker!! Unbelievable...

if you get a tongue lashing from tony gwynn, then you know you're in the wrong. seriously one of the nicest guys ever. RIP, mr. padre.

Tony Gwynn is a great guy!!! He was like my second dad for a minute .. Tony jr and I went to school together. We were best friends.. I use to go to their house EVERY weekend!! And it was the best!!!! Thank you Mr. Gwynn for whoopin us in ping pong!!! Loved every second. Love u man!

Tony was the most generous guy when it came to autographs. To ever get pushy with him for his autograph... that guy should remember that forever... for being an ass.

When I was younger I was a grill cook at the stadium of a minor league team that became affiliated with the Padres that year. So the Padres came to town for a scrimmage. After the the game I was wheeling my things down to the commissary and there sat Tony Gwynn on a folding chair in the hallway. I decided to introduce myself and he was so nice. We ended up talking baseball for what seemed like forever when in reality it was probably only 10 to 15 minutes. I'll never forget that day and how normal and down to earth he was.

Tony Gwynn has always been my hero; I hope that one day I will be half (or even a quarter) the man he was.

He’s the reason I stop dipping. Rip I love tony

Greatest ballplayer we'll ever see, San Diego misses Tony!

Now this is how you handle a rude man.

Dude said he owed him? Can’t blame Tony for this one, the manager of this place should have made the guy leave.

I'm a lifelong Braves fan and Tony Gwynn may be my all time favorite non Brave I ever watched......he was an amazing player and a class act.

Tony we will always miss you. But your Legacy is strong as a mountain is tall. And I won't ever forget the best daggum hitter I ever saw.

Tony was the nicest person ever when it came to autographs, he once signed 2 cards for me after a spring training game in Yuma, then noticed that I had a few more and said I'll sign those also if you you want, great player, even better person. God bless T.G.

I loved Tony Gwynn, and this makes me like him even more. Grown man begging/demanding another man's autograph needs to move on with his life.

R.I.P Tony -from a Giants fan and fan of Tony as well

I'm a die-hard Braves fan. Tony was always one of my favorite players and he was respected from his peers

Tony is playing with the the legendary player's up in heaven. Your the greatest.

Being a Hardcore Dodgers fan I hate and hated the Padres......except for Tony Gwynn. So professional, class act, humble, talented, etc. Rest In Peace Tony!!!!

I love Tony Gwynn very much!! he will always be the most professional and with out a doubt the classiest player in MLB history. I am a L.A. Dodger Fan but Mr. Padre will always be one of my favorites ever!! and he is certainly missed everyday!!

What an an incredible player and an even more incredible man. RIP

My son's and I were visiting St Louis in 1992 and the Padres were playing the Cardinals that night. After the game, I saw Tony lecturing some little kids not to be pawns for the autograph hounds that paid them to stand in line and get his autograph. Tony really knew the autograph hacks were going to be selling his signature the next day. I thought at the time and still do, "Wow, what a class act.'

It seems that Tony is familiar with this particular fan and even referenced someone they know mutually. Pretty pathetic to make a scene like that demanding an autograph when you could have very easily gotten in line, waited like everyone else and had a pleasant exchange with one of the greatest hitters of all time.

Tony was a great human being. I got his autograph when I was 11 years old. I’m 40 now. I was in the elevator in a hotel the Padres were staying in. Great guy. RIP Tony

I once saw denny mclain rip into a kid. It was hilarious. He told him to get a haircut, stand up straight, and don't b such a slob. It still makes me laugh.

I never got to see him play but seeing highlights shows me he was a hell of a hitter. I always enjoyed his commentary on ESPN during baseball games. He had a general knowledge and love for the game. You just don't see genuine athletes like this anymore.

Tony Gwynn. The GOAT.

He's got that post office employee gear on

The good die young, rest his soul. BTW, top 5 hitter all time.

I remember this day, I got there late and tony had them open the doors for me so I could get my little league bat signed and ball signed. He held the baseball bat in is hand and said “ you’re gonna hit many home runs with this huh” The guy was really nice.

Tony Gwynn... A class act!

Met Tony at a Baseball Card Show in Phoenix Az. During Spring Training March of 1984 What a Wonderful Man and Ball Player. A Real Class Guy Even as a Young Player. Thank You Tony. RIP # 19 *******

RIP Tony.. A class act ! from a Yankees fan.

This guy will have to carry the weight of an absolute legend chewing him out for the rest of his life.

They say the good die young,and he was good and I mean as a Human Being.RIP Tony.

I had the pleasure of meeting the man on several occasions and the most memorable is when I was 12 and he signed to had to my dad was his biggest fan the last time I saw him rest in peace how could you ever act like to some one so nice and caring

Tony Gwynn was such a class act.

The autograph seeker was a Trump supporter. Had that entitlement mentality.

Great guy on & off the field. Up there with Hank & Ted & Mick. MLB did him wrong stopping 1994 season. He was in the zone!

RIP to one of the greatest hitters of my childhood.

Mr. San Diego, I loved watching him in the 80's. A true gentleman and a outstanding ball player.

I attended one of those signings at ECF, right up the street from where I lived. Tony... R I P ...was one hell of a nice guy, set it straight for that moron. Really enjoyed watching him play over the years there in San Diego.

Tony is always a class act. I still remember the last time I saw him: “they only want my autograph because they know I’m going to die soon.” Even with death nearby still one of the best.

Good for you Tony we all miss you. You were a favorite hitter of mine I'm glad you put this guy in his place.

R.i.p tony will be truly missed 😔

hell yeah. rip

Padres fan from Indiana :)

glad he told him off:)

Never was into baseball, but Tony is a class act. Guys like him and LT are a dying breed.

Tony Gwynn was truly Mr. San Diego. Anyone I’ve ever talked to who had an encounter all said that he was gracious and nice. A true class act. His brother used to work at this dealership.

These two apparently have a history, I'm not sure why he thinks he owes him.

This Dodger fan salutes Tony Gwynn,Mr Padre.May he rest in power!

Can someone explain to me what’s going on here. Hard to pick up the Audio in the beginning but it sounds like the guy said something like “you owe it to me to sign this” idk. Someone fill me in

I've only asked for one autograph in my 67 years. Willie Nelson was in the foursome in front of me at a golf course in Nashville. He signed my scorecard that I lost in a housefire. No way I would stand in line for an autograph.

I remember when his brother Chris Gwynn got to the magor leagues. Tony said that his brother Chris was a much better hitter than him. Talk I being humble. George Brett and rod carew in my opinion were 2nd and 3rd best of my lifetime. RIP Tony

Tony Gwynn was a class act. RIP

RIP Tony Gwynn, a baseball legend gone too soon!!!

He was Mr. Class of the MLB.I love seeing him school sharks!

Not only one of baseball's greatest, one of the classiest people ever!! Mr. San Diego and Mr. Padre and the most beloved!! Tony we will always miss you, Sir!!

when it was time to check somebody...he knew how to do it, with one hand tied behind his back, looking you right in your face. I noticed NOT ONE SOUL, sitting at that table or standing in that line, said ONE WORD to the negative to Mr Gwynn, because they knew he was right. He was the furthest thing from a push-over.

I used to live in El Cajon back in the late '70s while attending advanced naval electronics school in San Diego. I hear it's turned into a real hellhole ... or maybe I'm thinking about Vallejo, where I also lived in the mid '70s while attending Naval Nuclear Power School in Mare Island. In any case, I became a Padres fan while living in El Cajon, and followed Tony's career closely. He was easily the best hitter in baseball for many years. RIP Tony

It's fair to say that even as humble a man as Tony is he has to scratch and claw his way into the Big leagues. So he can hold his own in ways he never showed..... Class act and a clown got schooled!

Damn chewing tobacco.

I lived for many years in the same town as Tony. (Poway, CA). In the winters I would see him around quite often. Tony was (is) a true gentleman and a first class act, always taking the time to talk to anyone and sign an autograph. You are missed at The Hamburger Factory Tony!

Tony's in heaven hitting off Bob Welch

RIP legend

Tony! G.O.A.T.!!!!! Midwest White Folks said this

My dad met him in vegas and got me an autograph . He was an incredible baseball player one of the best hitters of all time

Awesome guy:) From: an Arizona Diamondbacks fan

This wouldn't have went down like that if I was in the line I'm not going to stand for this disrespectful crap we would have been fighting and shame on all of you for letting anyone treat you like this guy did .
