So sad. One of the sweetest, classiest guys to ever play the game.
BTTT, what you said.
RIP Tony and thanks for the memories.
Condolences to his family, friends, and team mates.
I agree. Very impressive in front of the camera - classy, humble, spoke eloquently, and acted like an adult.
A true gentleman. I have a friend whose father was confined to a wheelchair for the last years of his life. He was a huge sports fan. His son would take him to games and the teams did their best to accommodate him.
They had a special parking area for handicapped fans that was next to the players’ entrance at Three Rivers Stadium. Gwynn was leaving after the game and saw my friend loading his dad into the van. Gwynn went out of his way to walk over to my friend’s dad, introduce himself, shake his hand and say “Thank you for coming out to watch me play today”.
A true class individual all the way.
Darn right. Total class, a gentleman.
You got that right. Tony Gwynn was the epitome of excellence.
