Gwynn came into the league about the time I was winding down getting autographs IP. Though part of it was me getting older, it was getting harder and harder to get autographs, and the players were getting less and less accomodating as their salaries started climbing.

I had the great pleasure of meeting players like Bobby Hull, Brooks Robinson, and Al Kaline this way, great men and ambassadors all for their games, always friendly, always smiling, and usually accommodating if they weren't in a hurry.

Gwynn was like these guys in every way. Loved to meet the fans, usually a very good signer and if you got him talking baseball he'd hang out a bit and tell you stories.

They don't make them like that any more.
