Played 1/2 of a season at SDSU with Tony Gwynn. He was a better human being than a baseball player. 100% genuine guy. Whether he knew you or not, when you spoke to him, he wanted to talk about you. I feel like I've been punched in the gut. RIP Mr. Padre.
When I lived in Chicago, I saw a Padres-Cubs game and I went very early to see him hit during batting practice. I was hypnotized on his approach when hitting. He was as perfect hitter you will ever see.
