[@mariothemenace5303]

Loyal to San Diego. We all miss you Tony

[@busterbrown2640]

Amen to that! Rest in peace Tony!

[@BrandonWS324]

Far and way the best pure hitter of my generation, that's for damn sure.

[@makehannalaugh]

Facts

[@davidfeltz8697]

He coolest player in my lifetime.

[@southerncalifornia42]

Still tearing up in June of 22’

[@bradlewis6514]

The best pure contact hitter of the baseball the sport has ever seen! If u wanted to attend a clinic to learn the perfect approach and display of the art, Tony Gwynn would be the man! He didn't just try for anything in particular! The man just flat out hit with the same grace that he treated people and the sport! With the utmost class! And that megawatt smile to boot! Batting-wise, we may never see another who had the complete hitting arsenal Gwynn had

[@angelmarte6971]

Saw him played in San Dog from 1986 thru his retirement as I was Station at NAVAL AIR STATION MIRAMAR AND NAVAL AIR STATION NORTH ISLAND for 20 yrs.......WHAT A GREAT BALL PLAYER.....BETTER HUMAN BEING!.....GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY....!!!!

[@Totalpleasure1972]

One of the greatest players ever. It was fun to watch him play. He had such a sweet batters swing. He was such a nice, nice man. He will be missed!

[@karenconnelly3053]

Ben Dougherty I

[@bradlewis6514]

He was just coming into the majors in the early '80s while I was in Little League! I'll turn 49 in January and my three favorite players in those days were Schmidt, Tony and Tim Raines! I vividly remember his entire ML career

[@toddrichardson8595]

My God, Tony Gwynn was the absolute best hitter of his time.

[@nikeduck24]

Best hitter of ALL time.

[@johndoughnut9350]

It was insane lol

[@flipper_1969]

Tony Gwynn was my idol, growing up. He was San Diego - and so was I. He wore the brown and yellow with pride...and that's hard to do.

[@jameswheeler7679]

What a hitter and that strike season took away his chance to hit 400 and I honestly believe that would have that year

[@annettemalaski1967]

While in my adult hood, I had Tony to use as a guide on how to try to be a good person. I already loved him ss a player. He reminded me of Rod Carew.

[@fourthhorseman4531]

Miss you Tony.

[@franciscodubious4045]

Thanks you Tony Gwynn for many memories.

[@TheShaund]

Greatest hitter of his generation

[@tijuanavilla4740]

God need it a 2 hole hitter in his team that is why he took him

[@paulmd2010]

This is comment is almost as beautiful at Tony's swing.

[@DryHeaveSteve]

San Diego native. So it’s been close to 10yrs and people still leave flowers at his statue. He is missed immensely. Google “Tony Gwynn’s laugh” Best laugh ever

[@Nhamp2000]

Dude was an artist. I appreciate that he was loyal, but it's too bad he played on mostly bad teams.

[@markjones2518]

Best hitter of all time

[@robertfritz9916]

Actually, he lived in Poway (as did I), a suburb NE of San Diego. He is Poway's greatest pride.

[@1026779]

Robert Fritz this guy

[@thehorrorofone8662]

And some players cough jim leyritz cough called tony not a team player.

[@krlm2280]

What's crazy is Tony Gwen was drafted by the Clippers but he choose baseball

[@GothicLoglc]

Could've had everything, Money, A ring, but he chose His family. The San Diegans.

[@billygoat1595]

To think how much better he might of been if he stayed in shape later in his career

[@MattSmith-iq1ld]

I hate to say this, but I feel this is part of the reason why Padre fans loved him. He Looked like one of them. B.abe Ruth was even in worse shape. Tony was honest about it, "I just soda pop so much." I wouldn't doubt he liked Budweiser after a 5-6 game as well!"!! Itwas part of his charm, but I get what you mean because he was a spectacular 2 sport athlete coming out of San Diego State.

[@markyoung4549]

Tony is the epitome of the San Diego Padres

[@jusslucxs3169]

How did he died?

[@joeomalley1969]

cancer

[@ibraheemrao8434]

As a brewers fan I reenter when his son scored from first on Ryan Braun's first career hit in San Diego.

[@paulmd2010]

Cancer of the salivary glad that spead. He was a big chaw guy back in the day.

[@Cynsham]
