I felt the same way. Any other answer would have surprised me. And when I lived on the west coast, a San Diego fan I talked with and expressed my Gwynn-anxiety to thought Dale Murphy had been the tougher out and would have gladly traded. You seldom appreciate your hometown guy as much as the other team's fans, the guys who want to get him out. When Gwynn was coming to the plate, good luck with your coping mechanism.

Greg Maddux my favorite pitcher of all time I spent hours growing up trying to master that damn 2 seam fast ball of his, it was like magic the only fastball I know of that moved like screwball it was so cool, so many batters would watch his 2 seam fast ball go DEFINITIVELY towards the outside of the plate 87 mph, nothing special an obvious BALL 1 a little high but nope right at the last moment it would tail right back in over the plate catching sooooooo many batters looking for strike 1, he was the only pitcher i never grew bored of watching , he threw literally the prettiest pitches in baseball it was like watching an artist just paint the strike zone :)

[@StepheMauro-kh1px]

If they had the superimposed box back then you would see that nearly all of those pitches were balls. He pitched in an era where pitching inside simply was not done and the umpires gave a whole bunch of latitude on the outside pitch to begin with . Strike zone height was tiny however. He used what they gave him and even if someone took a swing at that pitch they’d catch nothing but air.

This was a gimme. There was no other possible answer. I go back to the 60s with Mays, Aaron, Clemente, and so many other great hitters, but the best hitter I ever saw was Barry Bonds 2002-2004. If he was lucky, he would get one pitch, ONE pitch to hit per at bat. But if he got that pitch, he would nail it. In those three years he was walked intentionally 249 times. 249! But don't say I have a man-crush on the guy. I'm from Pittsburgh, and Bonds' name might as well be mud here. And don't hand me the steroids argument. Steroids don't make you a great hitter.

[@richkurl]

I lived in San Diego through most of Tony's career, and yes, the best pure hitter I've seen. Always amazed me during steal or hit & run situations how Tony was so adept at finding the hole. When the SS covered 2nd, Tony could slap the ball through the SS hole into LF, and when the 2nd baseman covered, he'd pull the ball into RF. Amazing bat control, but not just a singles hitter. He often drilled line drive doubles into the gaps and down the lines, and occasionally muscled up for HRs. RIP

I've been a life long Braves fan. Man, what a run they had in the 90's! Greg Maddux is my second favorite Brave of all time, behind only Hank Aaron. No doubt, Tony Gwynn was the best pure hitter of that era, if not of all time! He could hit anything! My personal favorite hitter (and overall ball player) was Ken Griffey Jr., but he was more of a slugger, and could not hit like Gwynn. I wish he could have played for Atlanta! The power he had with that perfect technique though, what a sweet swing!

Tony Gwynn introduced real devotion to the video. He studied every pitcher, and knew what was coming everytime.

So, as chunky as Tony looked, he played the outfield and had to run the pads more than anyone.

I remember S.I. did an article during the 1990's about Maddux, Clemens and Pedro . . . And they compared that group to the AL in the 1930's when Greenberg, Gehrig, Foxx were awesome 1B's and there were periods and leagues when some great SS's or CF's (Mays, Mantle, Snider, etc). Anyway the point was that Maddux, Clemens, Pedro during the period when HR's were, uhhm, encouraged, were arguably one of the greatest triads of RH-SP's ever. And it was hard to argue hands-down who was better, for a game, for a season, for a career, when a series was on the line . . . Together as a group, they were among the best of all time. And in 2007, Clemens final year, he retired with 354 Wins. So at the age of 42, Maddux decided to pitch one more (part of a) year . . . with the Dodgers in 2008, Running on fumes, he made 7 Starts, and won 2 of them. And Maddux retired with 355 Wins.
