One of the greatest guys ever. Let's all pray for him.

[Rocky]

May God heal him.

Gwynn said he thought the cancer was most likely related to his use of chewing tobacco throughout his career.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This man is a true professional. He went out and did his job. Never hogged for the cameras or was a prima donna.

One of those quiet superstars who belonged in a different era. Prayers for him to get better.

Supposedly caused by longterm use of chewing tobacco, which seems to do more harm than cigarettes, and more predictably.
If you’ve even seen pix of gums and teeth affected by chaw you know what I mean. Gums are the bone holding them in place are positively DESTROYED, leaving not enough support for even otherwise healthy teeth.

Mr Gwynn is one of the top ten best ball players of all time. Golden Gloves and batting titles by the dozen, facilitated by upper one percentile intelligence. We love you Tony.

[Jazz1968]

Prayers for a really good man.

Tony is the man in San Diego. If he were the slightest bit interested in politics, he would be elected mayor in a walk...The address of Petco Park is 19 Tony Gwynn Dr. He played baseball at San Diego St and basketball (he was darn good at both). Played on the Padres’ first World Series team in 84, then an encore in the autumn of his career in 98. Now baseball coach of the Aztecs, coaching the promising young players of the future, including his son. To use an overused phrase, you gotta like the guy. May he beat the hide off the cancer as he beat the hide of the ball when he was in the batter’s box.
