Gwynn, Henderson, Padres, 2001

[@uneededacct9835]

I was at this game! Just before my 10th birthday. October 6, 2011. Phil Nevin hit 3HR including a grand slam! We were up in the left field section chanting for Rickey! I love that this clip was uploaded. So often you'll get the highlights of when someone gets a milestone, but not often do you get the highlights of just before - all the tension and anticipation is just as much a beautiful thing. You can really feel it through this video. Thank you for the upload!

Can you imagine having Ricky and Tony on the same team in their primes?! Wow, they would have been a force.

[@GoofysHatBand]

You mean 3 years prior to this?

[@GoofysHatBand]

@@travismcdonald6576 ok, how about 4 years prior to this?

[@TheBatugan77]

I was there for all of it...season ticket holder 1998- 2001. Magical times.

[@anewstatic]

It was a special time to be a padre fan. 2004-2005 season came pretty close with all that great pitching we had.

[@TheBatugan77]

Rickey volunteered to sit out, with 2999 hits, so as not to detract from Tony's last day. Tony said he'd kick Rickey's butt out onto the field.

I'm a Dodger fan as well but I've always loved Tony Gwynn as a man first then a baseball player astounding, solid, fundamental player nothing flashy, nothing fluky,and you got everything from him even on a bad day a special player that could never be matched by anyone...

[@anewstatic]

We had some fun games against each other in the 90’s. It’s a shame the Padres are such a bad team now. Would love to see the true rivalry brought back.

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

The Padres could have renamed themselves the San Diego Gwynns cause Tony is and will forever be Mr Padre

[@ThekiBoran]

Personally I put Henderson in the top 5 players of all time. To be considered the best ever a player needs over 500 jacks, IMHO. However, Henderson had a career OBP over .400 with killer plate discipline, the stolen bases and he had some pop in his bat. For leadoff hitters he was the greatest of all time.

[@johnwalker1250]

Plus being the all-time leader in runs scored. Man that is so impressive.

[@patrickbrowder6857]

Where'd the time go? That suds soaked summer seems like yesterday. To you youngsters out there, hug the ones you love, enjoy every moment you're able and save your damn money. You're probably gonna need it!

[@dethtron]

Amen!

[@samueljohnson9723]

No doubt Tony's double would have been a triple 10 to 15 years earlier. Loved his hitting. RIP my friend

[@stevenwieczorek5468]

Legends never leave us..

[@josecarranza7555]

Was this Tony Gwynn’s last home game?

[@alfonsovalenciarobles1399]

El gran hitero..Tony...

[@mikeandsheriprice3635]

My two favorite players ! 🐐 !

[@coatofmanycolors1258]

That makes the only two players to have 3000 hits on the same team: amazing⚾️⚾️⚾️👍

[@cidgumban7068]

I thought that was true also, but I was informed that the 1928 Philadelphia A's had 3! Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and Eddie Collins.

[@TheBatugan77]

​@@cidgumban7068 You beat me to it.

[@samueljohnson9723]

Much respect Tony. And I'm a Dodger fan

Two 3000 hit guys on one team.. both black.. amazing.. i love this game.. as a Padres fan, Tony Gwynn has given me more joy Lakers 3 peat championships have given me.. Tony Gwynn and Kobe Bryant are the greatest things to have ever happened to me

[@Ciudaddepalmas]

I'm a padres fan since 98 and Lakers fan since they started that 3-peat...even tho this two franchises are doing bad I'm loyal to them

[@jbenz1990]

What an awesome moment

[@acespadebaseball8637]

Just. Rickey ABs are Leggitt The ultimate leadoff man works account Doesn't get cheated too much

[@acespadebaseball8637]

To me Ricky is the all time walk leader Berry has more The steroids played a big part in that

[@jaredpaulding267]

AceSpade BASEBALL Rickey actually does have the most Unintentional walks in history
