I had to share this. Tony Gwynn loved the game, its legends, it's journeymen, it's history, and we the fans. I am absolutely certain he counted himself among us. He was supremely talented yet amazingly genuine and approachable. I had the privilege of speaking with him on a couple of occasions. He was the epitome of class. His laugh and love for the game were infectious. Watching him interact with people and spreading his unique brand of joy was even more fun than watching him hit. He always left smiles in his wake. What a tragic loss.
