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!

I just saw something crazy about his career and the timing of his passing. The only time Tony Gwynn ever struck out three times in a game was on April 14, 1986 and the pitcher was Bob Welch, who also just passed away. Got him all three times.

I remember an epic confrontation in a game 7 playoff when Maddux came on in relief and retired Gwynn to clinch it. Great hitter, no drugs, just relentless hard work.
