No copyright infringement intended I don't any off this video
Just for clear reference. This isn’t my video not my editing. This was a feature from MLB Network I shared with you all for your enjoyment :)
Lifetime Dodgers fan. Lifetime Tony Gwynn. Only ball player, I’m sure of everyone loved. He took his platform and shared with bal players and fans alike.
Thank you Tony
Purest contact hitter I ever saw. Never struck out more than 40 times in a season, and 19 consecutive seasons with .300 batting avg..unreal.
He struck out three times in a game once in twenty years. That's absolutely insane.
What a pure ball player
97% of the HOF votes? The other 3%? Voting rights denied for life
The two strikeout stats... never struck out more than 40 times in a season and struck out three times in a game only once in twenty years are seriously unreal... esp w his other numbers alongside of that
These stats always make me double take. Those and the fact that in 100+ plate appearances against Greg Maddux (First ballot HOF) he hit .415 and never struck out once... Thats unreal.
Absolutely amazing hitter. Only struck out 434 times in his career in over 10,000 plate appearances.
Best San Diego padre to ever grace the baseball diamond. A hall of fame baseball player AND a hall of fame person. I shed a tear when my dad told me the news about Tony Gwynn's passing. I'm a Phillies fan. And I enjoyed watching mr. Padre play the game how it's supposed to be played. Rest in peace Tony Gwynn. San Diego will miss you and baseball will miss you as well. This is coming from a Phillies fan. Tony Gwynn is the best.
Still missing Tony in 2019
2020😔
And 2021 too.
2022 as well
2022
Best hitter I've ever watched
He was a hell of a player.
And a better man. Salute, Anthony Keith Gwynn.
Grew up in San Diego watching Gwynn play at the Murph. Witnessing greatness. It was a pleasure Mr. Gwynn. You will be missed.
Could you imagine Ted Williams calling you a Houdini in the batters box?
I respected and liked him so much and I'm a Dodger fan. Greatest fundamental hitter ever and Ted Williams even giving him such high praise. At least I can talk baseball with him in heaven 😇
Same. Dodger fan, huge Tony Gwynn respecter
Man, im sad today as its Tony's 60th Birthday....RIP Mr Padre!!!
Unmatched bat to ball skills and bat control. Could put the ball anywhere he wanted. Purest hitter ever.
The best of the best... exactly how the game SHOULD be played. kept it simple...
Praise The Almighty God Whom We Serve! He gave us the opportunity to meet him in person😢,We Loved and now we miss him!!
Loved Tony. What a great player and man. I had always hoped he would be a Yankee, but no one is perfect.
Tony you were the best. Thanks for the memories. So sad life was cut short by cancer. We will miss you. RIP
As an old soul Yankee fan I was watching Tony Gwynn highlights on baseball tonight and I ain't gonna front he can hit though even when I saw the 2007 HOF.
May he rest in peace Mr. Padre.
So many great memories. Truly an icon we took for granted in San Diego, but it was his fault. We came to expect excellence, and he served it up year after year. But...there is a little melancholy. If he had kept down the weight, which led to knee injuries, he'd have played another five years. And if he hadn't chewed he'd still be here with us. Selfish thoughts.
Selfish only cause you wanted to see his Greatness, selfish but a good Selfish
Was not a selfish man at all ! He took more time to talk to fans. Kids and everyone. Most players don't do that . As far as the Wt. It was a family thing his mom. Brothers had wt problems. As far as the chewing tob. He tried to quit more than a dozen times but could not
@@dalebateman6470 He Even Helped An Rookie Albert Pujols In 2001
One of the greatest, miss his laugh.
Whst a treat to watch growing up . Top 10 players of ALL TIME
Who’s slicing the damn onions next to me? RIP TO THE GOAT
I'm not crying, you're crying.
Jim Scott I'm still crying I miss him
San Diego loves Tony Gwynn
I love this guy! We lost him way too young.
Always thought Gwynn was better than Boggs.
Tony eventually took Ted Williams' advice. Gwynn began turning on inside pitches.
Never met you either, but do I miss you too! Much love to you beyond the grave.
LONGLIFE DODGERS FAN, AND TONY GWYNN WAS ONE OF MY FOVORITE PLAYERS. HIS HITTING AND HIS CLASS IS LIKE NO OTHER. VERY HIM HUMBLE. I AM LUCKY TO HAVE SEEN SUCH A GREAT PLAYER.
When are people going to learn that it’s not about homeruns? It’s about RBIs producing runs and winning games. Tony was arguably the best hitter of all time. Arguably considering he played for the padres.
Gwynn was one of the greats and also a fine human being, I wish he was here with us today, but the best hitter of all time must also hit for power. While I think homeruns are boring, I prefer small ball, he had only 135 homeruns and slugged .459. That's not enough to get a hitter considered the greatest. The debate for greatest include Ruth, Williams, Mays, Aaron, anyone else? The list is short for greatest hitter ever.
@@ThekiBoran Albert Pujols Has To Be Mentioned You Don't Hit 703 Career Homers And Have An Solid .296 Lifetime Average For Nothing
If you don't love Tony Gwynn, just get out of here.
Never heard of him. Interesting video.
bro doesnt watch baseball then'
Behind Ted Williams.... he's indeed the best.
I loved Tony. Always will.
Babe Ruth is the. best hitter of all time.
In 1994 saw Tony smack three hits on Old Timers Day at Shea Stadium!
.338 lifetime average. Insane!
Amazing contact hitter. This was a time off hapyness
Saw Tony hit against my Astros growing up and remember thinking does this guy ever strike out? Even with an 0and2 count he always managed to get a hit. You will be miss Mr. Gwynn.
I would like to know the names of the 3 percent of the idiots who didn't make Tony a first ballot Hall of famer. 3,000 hits alone is automatic qualification. Never mind being arguably the best ambassador of the game in his generation, and how he revolutionized baseball thru video study.
Legend of a man
Mark Grace never gets the love as one of the greatest hitters.
I MISS YOU T.G
Gone way too soon. 😔 RIP Tony
🥺miss him so much 😢
Today baseball stars have a .265 avg with 35 homeruns...
Tony .338 avg how about them apples...
The 2+ percent that didn't vote for him should have their voting right revoked. Absolutely shameful by those voters and I sincerely hope they never see a ballot again. R.I.P. Goat.
How On Earth Was Ken Griffey Jr Not An Unanimous Hall Of Famer
97% of the votes? Who DIDN'T vote for Tony Gwynn?
sometimes voters vote for a guy who is in his final year of eligibility, that way that guy might get in, as well as the sure thing like Tony Gwynn.
@A Baller Mariano Rivera got 100%
Best hitter in baseball history. You cannot argue it, he is the greatest.
A Baller its all about RBIs and average homeruns are just entertaining that’s it
Ted Williams? Geez
Pujols Can Hit For Both Power And Average How'd You Think Pujols Has Over 600 Homers In His Career
Nick Perez Bullshit! Did he ever contribute to a winning World Series team? Williams was better. Rose was. Carew was. Because gas was. Etc. etc. etc.
Joseph Flaherty lol at Rose and Carew. Only Williams was better. 338 career average. Never batted below 300 in his career. 8 batting titles. 7 Sluggs.
I do love baseball
Love tony Gwynn, but can you imagine if ichiro played 20 seasons in the majors.
They just don't make em like Gwynn anymore
Nope
They definitely do not.
Good knees...4000 hits .
Tony Gwynn MR PADRE grande por siempre y para siempre.
There is a line that could be drawn from Babe Ruth to Tony Gwynn and that cannot be denied. Reggie Jackson is in that conversation as well. Lefties rule!
Got to see him play at Jack Murphy Stadium and Petco. Always got chills when he was announced to bat.
He never played at Petco Park
@@justing42 he never said Petco park. He said Petco. He was buying kibble.
A sad sight to see when fans in Montreal can't show up to see history in the making for hit number 3000. That stadium is more than half empty.
He mentioned Rod Carew. Game recognizes game.
Mr.Padre !¡! AlwayZ !¡!
RIP
Great for sure. Better than Ted Williams or Rod Carew? Ty Cobb?
98% vote for hall of fame, who the heck is the other 2% 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
His ability to make contact was even superior to Rod Carew’s and Wade Boggs. Just a bit better than both of those two great hitters.
💯💥👍
Greatest contact hitter ever
Cobb was better
I'm trying to figure out who were the numbnuts that didn't vote for him on the 1st ballot for the Hall of Fame.
8 Batting titles....
To bad.
TED WILLIAMS....TED WILLIAMS....TED WILLLIAMS.....TED WILLIAMS.....TED WILLIAMS.... GO LOOK HIM UP AND LEARN !!!!!
97%????? Should of been 100%
Ever heard of Babe Ruth before? Ty Cobb?
babe ruth and ty cobb played when there was people running straight from second to home cause there was one umpire. Just saying in todays game those two would bat 95 and tony would bat 400
Why is the statue in Left Cent. and not in Right Field?
Shawn he was a push hitter
It's not in either. It's outside of the confines of Petco Park more to the Right Field side. Don't know what Jerry Coleman meant.
Greatest hitter ever is always up to debate and personal williams demaggio aaron rose gehrig????
Williams is untouchable as the greatest hitter ever hitter...Gwynn was great but he was no T.W....At least they're both San Diegans..
Absolutely. Ted Williams lost 5 years to the service- serving as a Marine Corps fighter pilot- Highest on base % of all time!. 2 x Triple Crown over 500 HRs last to hit over 0,400--0.406Hhe crushed the baseball
@cbone1982
No he fucking didn't.
I loved Tony and Ted, but stop the bullshit.
Money?
Not better than Cobb or Williams , but he's top 5
Tony is a great hitter, but he is NOT the best. If you are talking, just, contact hitter he is in the conversation. He is not in the same conversation with Ruth, Foxx, Greenberg, Williams, Mays, Aaron as a complete (contact and power) hitter.
Gwynn wasnt about power, he was all about contact hitting. The BEST pure hitter in terms of contact, not power.
I have the upmost respect for everything Tony Gwynn has brought to and done for the game. But to say he’s the best hitter of all time is a complete slap in Barry Bonds face. This is not arguable. Barry Bonds is the most dominant hitter of all time. Gwynn is absolutely top 5
Barry Bonds is the greatest power hitter ever maybe, but in terms of pure contact hitter absolutely not. Gwynn's career average is 40 points higher than Bonds. Hitting often gets broken down into more than one category by baseball fans. Even with that said, I'd take Stan Musial over Bonds any day.
Jim Scott Yes more than one category sir. Please look at Barry Bonds stats... All of them. This is not debatable as it is pretty much fact. You’re comparing the greatest homerun hitter of all time to one of, if not the greatest contact hitter of all time.. and his average is only “40 points higher”. Barry Bonds had more walks than TEAMS my man, was intentionally walked with the bases loaded 14 times!!!! That is unheard of. He’s just heavily downplayed because he was a dick and got caught up with steroids. But please do not be misled, the man is the greatest hitter of all time.
And yes Stan Musial was a phenomenal player. But he played in a different era. I don’t believe you can compare someone from the 40’s & 50’s to a player from today. Gameplay is just so different from then. Never the less both players are legends and should be recognized as such.
hahaha there have only been 6 intentional walks with bases loaded in MLB history and yes Bonds has ONE of them. Not 14. And 40 batting points in pretty substantial. You're not even working in real facts, of course you think Bonds is better.
Gwynn has the 4th highest BA of anyone in the 3k hit club. This debate is ridiculous.
No he isn’t.
Gwynn was damn good, but I have to give the edge to either Cobb, Joe Jackson or Hornsby.
Greatest hitter? Not really, still the guy is a legend and is sorely missed.
iamhungey12345 yes really
For the Padres perhaps, not all time however.
iamhungey12345 you think that. I'll side with actual mlb players who say otherwise...hofers talking about hofers
It's a show of respect, what else are they supposed to say?
iamhungey12345 it's funny you think I meant in his passing.
I mean. Rip to him. He was a great hitter. But In my eyes. Ked Griffey Jr. Was better
He isn’t the best hitter
You're a clown... Just like you're wife does not fuck your friends
