I remember growing up in the 80’s and 90’s and my first exposure to Tony Gwynn was watching the World Series. Tony was hired by the broadcast networks to do a breakdown of every pitcher for both teams - what pitches they threw, what they were good at, how they tried to get batters out, and what batters needed to do to be successful against that pitcher. They rolled these clips at the start of the game and every time a reliever was brought in. Tony not only had a ridiculous baseball IQ, but he was very articulate without coming across as arrogant or condescending.

As a kid growing up in San Diego, Tony Gwynn is my baseball hero. While being a legendary hitter, he meant so much more to the city and earned the nickname “Mr. Padre.” When he passed, I felt like I lost a part of baseball forever. Videos like this that keep his legacy alive for the new generations of baseball fans always make me feel like a kid again, watching my hero take the field one more time.

Tony Gwynn was the nicest guy. He was doing a batting class at NIKE Town PDX. I brought some cards and the Beckett with him and Fred McGriff on it. I was the first kid to get his autograph and he wanted to use my new Sharpie. I said you can have it. He said no, just stand here and talk to me while I sign every autograph , and if the pen runs out of ink, I’ll take you to the store and buy you another pen. WOW, first class all the way. I was so stoked!

I used to worship Gwynn as a kid. Collect every Sport Illustrated magazine with an article about him. Collect coins to buy newspapers to see his batting average. I grew up in the 80s where batting average and manufacturing runs were the game. Want to mention that he has. 338 batting average playing half his career when ERAs were relatively low. He also played at a pitcher friendly park, and thank you for mentioning that he has no one to protect him in the lineup. Gwynn is the best hitter of all time. Was happy to see his inside the park grand slam at Dodgers stadium. One of my best memories. RIP Tony Gwynn. The greatest hitter of all time

One of my favorite memories is of Tony Gwynn. Back when I played traveling ball when I was sixteen, we played in a tournament down in SD. Our coach took us to check out SD States facilities and we were going to do some drills on the field. That alone was something we were all looking forward to. As we wrapped some quick fielding drills our coach called us into the dugout to go over what he wanted us to focus on during BP. He wrapped up and as we were all about to jump off the bench to take the field again, he says "Oh, just one more thing." At that moment who comes around the corner but Tony Gwynn. He process to talk to us for about 30 minutes about hitting and from that point on it completely changed my thoughts about hitting. He was genuinely one of the most humble and kind people I had ever met. The baseball world hasn't been the same without him.

Tony was such a wizard. I didn't get to watch him in the 80s because I was too little, but he was just so dominant in the 90s. Obviously his average doesn't bear this out, but it really felt like Gwynn got a hit every single time he needed one. It was just so impressive watching him, and equally as impressive listening to him break down hitting. I miss him.

As a kid growing up in Southern California I didn't really care about baseball, but I still loved Tony Gwynn. As far as I can tell _everyone_ loved Tony Gwynn. He just seemed like the nicest, friendliest guy. He was great with fans, smiled and laughed and seemingly had a great time in every public appearance, and then went out and got hits. He also seemed quite happy to stay in San Diego, which was great. I don't think I've ever met a baseball fan who doesn't at least like Tony Gwynn.

He still hit .300 against Ryan, one of very few who could claim that distinction. *Tony Gwynn hit .343 at home and .334 on the road. *Tony Gwynn hit .345 against righties and .325 against lefties. *Tony Gwynn hit .346 in April, .333 in May, .344 in June, .325 in July, .348 in August, and .333 in September.

He killed our team so man times, and yet he was such a nice guy you just couldn't hate on him. Absolute legend. P.S. Gwynn's only regret was that he used chewing tobacco for decades, which led to his cancer. In his later years he spent a lot of time advocating against chewing tobacco, so thought I would mention that here as a sign of respect to his legacy.

Born /'51(Balboa Naval Hospital), raised and used to bleed San Diego (SD became a mini version of LA). So many greats came through and went on to greatness elsewhere. We always called the SD sports teams - the farm system for all of the other professional sports teams. That is another thing to brag about with Tony Gwynn, he did the unthinkable - he stayed in San Diego. He made Padre baseball fun to watch. RIP Tony, your legacy continues at SDSU. EDIT: He wasn't as loyal geographically (San Diego was a small town and couldn't contain him) but The San Diego Chicken (AKA - the KGB Chicken) was another highlight from So Cal. He was the original and best "mascot" of all time. What an imagination that guy had for entertainment. Thinking about Tony is bringing up way too many memories, I'm going to stop now.

Couple side notes... in 1983/84/85, Gwynn was complemented by Steve Garvey, Graig Nettles, Garry Templeton, HoF Closer Goose Goaasage and budding Ace Eric Show. The first two have strong cases for Hof. With Garvey having a carrer BA of .295, 10 AS, 1 MVP. In 1998, Gwynn was supported by Ken Camaniti, Steve Finley, Wally Joyner and Greg Vaughn. All who had respectable careers. Biggest issue that faced Gwynn was the fact the Padres have always been a Small Market team. In 1984, the million dollar contracts for Gossage and Garvey killed them. Payroll costs caused frequent Post-Season Fire Sales. Prime Examples, the trading of Joe Carter and Sandy Alomar for young Fred McGriff and Tony Fendandez... both of which were traded away a couple of years later... Because they did well enough to demand more money.

I kind of will like to see a compilation video of the times Gwynn struck out just to see that it actually happened. I know that he did, but I don't think I ever seen it myself.

@@travistaylor5000 Batting titles are based off batting average, which means nothing. Both were sub .850 OPS hitters.

One of these baseball fan channels recently did a video on the longest number of games on base streaks in baseball. I was amazed that Tony Glynn wasn't even close to the all time leaders. He was one of the greatest hitters, seldom struck out, but didn't collect an unusual number of bases on balls. He was such a great hitter, it appears he could always put the ball in play. And fortunately for us, about .325 % of the time it was for a hit.

The strangest thing about Gwynn aside from his non-existent strikeout rate was the fact that he never walked either. Wade Boggs didn't strike out much, but he did walk over 100 times 4 straight years and averaged 94BB per 162 games. Gwynn? His career high was 59 and only averaged 54 per 162. He basically just swung at everything and always put it in play in some fashion. I don't think anyone has ever been better at putting the bat on the ball.

8:00 the greed of the bourgeoisie ruins everything. If it wasn’t for that greed then Tony Gwynn would have made history and the MLBPA wouldn’t have been forced to strike.

Wow, the man hit over .330 on hall of fame pitchers with over 500 at bats. Great research!! You gotta factor in the specialty relief pitching that didn't exist in baseball's previous eras. I'd say he was the best. I didn't see the earlier eras. But yea that 1994 season could have been the year for Gwynn to get the national attention he deserved, but the strike ruined baseball in that era.

As far as Tony losing out on what should have been his best career season due to "the strike", politics and greed were responsible for that and will only get worse in all fields of life. That is partially why we will never see athletes like the ones that came from that era. There are so many artificial influences on all sports now that are slowly taking away from natural talent to supply the greedy corporations with their versions of how sports should be played to satisfy the "ratings". TONY GWYNN - all you can say is WOW!

Yea, I still love baseball, but something is missing in the game today. It ain’t like it used to be. I mean each era we had a Tony Gwynn, Boggs type of player. The owners are responsible for this demise. The stolen base is coming back, but it should have never left. We got guys regularly hitting .220 with 30 homers making zillions of dollars. In my opinion, that strike ruined the potential best season in the history.
