This article really made my day being a baseball fan and now a big Tony Gwynn fan too

excellent read. almost got me to tears to hear about human kindness in this way. It was interesting to read the authors opinion about Jack Clark.

Anybody who's ever heard Tony's laugh will instantly hear it in their mind when they read this. I did and it is smile-inducing. Thanks!

quote from the article:

"Most 10 year-old boys walk through life searching for a hero"

IMO, of course, my father was MY hero...while I may never have - or personally achieve - their (my father's, or Gwynn's) personal level of success, when it comes to Tony Gwynn, there's a lot about Gwynn that is something to aspire to be...I respect Gwynn, his game, mannerisms, etc., and miss him - as well as my father - dearly, as, despite their vast differences, profession-wise vs. fame-wise, they were both total class acts, something I admire and strive to become.

thanks for posting a great article.
