I'm very sad to hear this news.
Tony Gwynn was certainly one of the classiest ballplayers that I ever met.
I'll never forget him getting so many hits in that 5.5 hole that he loved so much.
RIP Tony, I hope that heaven has it's own 5.5 just for you.

BTW, here is a link to the story that was on msn.com:

Not just one of the nicest and classiest ballplayers.... but one of the nicest men I have ever met. For one of the greatest players of all-time, there was not one iota of pretentiousness about him. Just a down to earth guy, and world-class Hitter.

He is without question, the greatest figure in San Diego Sports history. He had many chances to leave SD for greener pastures (and more money elsewhere). But he stayed loyal to the city and the fans.

A rare breed who will be fondly remembered for eternity.

Gwynn was my favorite player as a kid. His work ethic and dedication to being a great hitter was inspiring...he was truly one of a kind. RIP Tony.

Total class ball player the few times I was fortunate to have met the man. Here are pics of my in person items and one that sadly I will not be able to finish.
