I didn't know he was sick. This is really a shame. He was still so young.

Used to love getting the paper in the morning and going to the box scores when I was a kid.... Had to check out Gywnn every day, he was a hitting machine and possibly had the best hand/eye coordination ever!!! RIP!!!!

I didn't even know he had an illness, and I see on here many others didn't know either.

May he rest in peace.

I didn't realize speed was a part of his game early on. He stole 50 bags one year.

I always get jealous when I hear older guys talk about Mantle and Mays because I didn't get to see them play. But I feel very fortunate that I did get to see Tony.

Wow, this is the first I heard about Gwynn's passing. One of the greatest hitters in baseball history. Much too young.

Best wishes went out to his family and friends. He was one of the best hitters of my time watching baseball.

In a strike shortened season he hit .394. Think about that!
