Tony - you are are class act, true gentleman and ambassador for the game. As a follow Poway resident I never saw you turn down an autograph request or refuse to stop and talk to your fans. You will never be forgotten. Thank you.
solid argument can be made saying Tony Gwynn is the greatest "pure" hitter the game has ever produced! I am lifelong Atlanta Braves fan, but Tony is my all time favorite baseball player EVER!
Greatest hitter of my lifetime!! He left us way too soon at only 55 in 2015! As a Dodgers fan, I saw Tony play in 1985, at 6 years old. I didn't understand what I was really watching on TV but when I got older, Tony became one of my favorite players! Rest in Peace, Mr. Padre!!
So sad to see this great man leave us way too early...I wasn't a Padres fan but I've always been a huge Tony Gwynn fan. Total class act and spokesman for many. May you rest in peace hitting champ!! We'll miss you.
When I heard on Monday morning that tony had crossed the river, it seemed unreal. Being a San Diego local, I spent much of my adult life watching "Tee" play ball. As I'm about a year younger than Tony was, it hits me in a very real way, how someone in my age group can be taken by cancer. Rest in peace, "Tee." It was truly a joy watching you play.
Players like Tony Gwynn, Cal Ripken and Mike Schmidt aren't all about the money. They play the game right and are loyal to their fans and town. I had the honor of seeing him play in some great games, but most memorable moment was pumping gas next to him in our hometown of Poway, and though i didn't bother him, he noticed i was wearing a T-Gwynn t-shirt and gave me a big smile and nod.
I admired you forever tony I grew up in the 90’s my dad love baseball, he would go crazy every time u were at bat; he always take me to the park now then Qualcomm stadium back them my eyes light up to see you play my bros would say I am cami or net Finley I always wanted to be you and couldn’t wait when I wasn’t in school to come home and watching u play in channel 7 then cox.anyways I just wanted say u make an impact in my life and I was so sad when decided to leave for heaven. Wait for me in heaven forever
Such a shame he left us so early what a great player with 5 gold glove one of the games best players and had such great plate diceplen one of the best hitters this game will ever see rest in peace tony
Greatest hitter ever, when pitching was at it's best IMO, Tony Gwynn lifetime batting avg of .338 is AMAZING, 1 strikeout per 28 at bats is also amazing and unheard of, RIP Tony Gwynn you were truly ONE OF A KIND.
Tony. You were a great ballplayer. You were consistent year in and year out. Your lifetime batting average is unheard of. You are a gentle soul who carried a loud stick. God bless you Tony Gywnn. You were one of a kind. A true professional and a gentleman.
watched tony play growing up in san diego i will tell my nephew that i watched one of the greatest players to ever play but also one of the greatest human beings to ever play.
I want to break down and cry because he and cal ripken jr. are the reasons why love the game of baseball so much. for over 20 years they played for their home state team, ripken who pass lou gerhig pefect attendance record in games, collect 400 HRs and is a member of 3000 hits. tony glynn who had every year except for one batted .300 or better, ties a NL record for 8 batting title with honus wagner, ranks 18th all-time in batting .338 and is also a member of 3000 hits. they were the true heroes of baseball when the steroid era was establish. the same can be said about Ken griffey jr. and Frank thomas.
Well said Tory. Cal and Tony were icons on the field obviously but we're both class acts in every way, and did it the right way. I'm a dodger fan and watched Tony blister us for years but loved to watch him hit, still heartbreaking knowing he is gone.
Met Tony once and his family (still have his baseball at my computer desk), he was a gentle giant and a family man who exhibited integrity and passion for his family and fans. I got a chance to visit the stadium and view his statue. Thank you Alicia for sending for me , Tony C. and our late Uncle Leonard and providing a round trip first class flight and welcomed us into your home. Gone to soon! My family is always in my prayers.
San Diego’s Mr. Baseball and Pride of the City. So many good memories watching him play the game like it was meant to be played. Loved your approach to the game and thank you for the memories. Gone too soon and God Bless!
My favorite baseball player ever. His baseball career is my childhood personified. He gave me so many great memories! I love you Tony! And we all miss you so much. #19 forever! 💪
Im watching this video because I loved Tony Gwynn, but as someone who has experimented in their past.. and to other who have also experimented.. watch the old white guy with the red tie on the right. He is literally COKED THE FUCK OUT!!!🤣🤣🤣

I can't think of a better hitter
Born in 82 here
Remember watching him as early 87 or so & understanding what I was seeing

RIP Mr. Padre. One of the greatest to ever play the game, and a true class act in every respect.
Thanks for the memories Tony, you ARE San Diego baseball. Now, and forever.

Thanks for the memories and all that hard work Tony. What you did is the right way to get it done.
Ripken is my favorite player. Watching them both get inducted...this is sad. What a great man.

God has blessed the player who he assigned Tony Gwynn as his guardian angel
Stephen Cogan His son's pretty good, too.
Best speech ever. Loved it.

Tony sounds like every black comedians impression of a white guy
.338 beat that
Not on this league today
one mlb greastest hitters
he took tabacko and sterorods
+Jackson Riley Seriously you'd really go there? Have a little respect for the man and don't throw the mud.
+Jackson Riley the guy was riddled with injuries the past 6 years of his career. Pretty sure he laid off the juice dipshit
can you proof he took steroids, yes he did admit to using the chewing tobacco.
Jackson Riley *tobacco *steroids
he didn't do steroids but he chewed tobacco which led him to his death
