Padres outfielder Tony Gwinn passed away.

Recommended Posts

Apparently he had suffered from mouth cancer from chewing the last 30 years. Tony was a hall of famer inducted in 2007. Winner of numerous batting awards and an outstanding outfielder. An all around great guy who was very much loved By san Diego. I remember when he played the world series in New York against the Yankees, some clowns threw trash at him. He took it with a lot of class but boy was San Diego ready to go to war with New York, lol.

San Diego has lost two of its best and brightest now, Tony, and of course, Junior Seau.

 

RIP Tony.

He was a great ball player and nice guy. He only struck out 434 times in 20 years. There are players now who get that in just a few season.
