  • I still miss Tony Gwynn

    Even though it's been four years since his final at-bat, I still miss Tony Gwynn. He meant a lot to the game.

    Who doesn't miss Tony Gwynn? If he would have taken better care of himself he would still be playing.

        I still wish Julio Franco was playing ,oh wait he is

        but, really Tony was a great player and person, and who doesn't miss people like that.

          Sorry in this day and age of the roids and all, I don't accept this cop-out. Tony is an original. Just because someone doesn't think he took care of himself doesn't fly with me. He did what he could do. ANY criticism doesn't fly with me either. He'll be back someday. Until then you all just STFU and live your own lives and leave Tony alone.........

            I'd trade 50 Barry Bonds for 1 Tony Gwynn. This Dodger fan misses Tony and what he brought to the game.

              Tony was a gentleman in all senses of the word. he is still in the game he loves, coaching at SDSU, a team that plays at Tony Gwynn Stadium.
              You will see how much he was loved here next August at Cooperstown.

              Welcome back ARod. Hope you are a Yankee forever.

                  Ballplayers today and any time can learn from Tony. He was constantly studying films to improve himself. He even went to the master, Ted Williams, for help.
                  Looking at His career, you might wonder why Tony needed help from any source. But he was always trying to do better.
                  Ted was one man who thought there was a great comparison between him and Tony.
                  Of course I don't think Ted ever lost his love for his hometown, although he hadn't lived here for over 60 years when he died.

                    What a class act of a player man, so classy and was a great figure for baseball.

                    When the Pads came to NY, i always watched Tony play, i loved his hitting and his style.

                    There aren't many players like Tony. Ever.

                      I hear that. 2008! He'll return to the Padres and win his ninth batting title. it will come. It will be greatest comeback story, perhaps, accompishment of all time!
