Tony Gwynn R.I.P.

Sad news. One of baseball's all-time greatest hitters, and one of its greatest good guys, Tony Gwynn passed away today at the age of 56.

R.I.P.

Sad

Good cautionary tale as to why one should never take up the chewing tobacco habit. His cancer was a direct result of that nasty habit.

R.I.P. Tony. I read that Tony's father passed away young too (57).

Here is an article about his incredible career numbers. The one I think is most amazing is

Gwynn had six straight seasons (and eight altogether) in which he struck out fewer than 20 times. Did you know there were 97 hitters in the big leagues who whiffed at least 20 times just last month?
