Word Up to Tony Gwynn

The Phillies are lucky enough to be playing in San Diego this weekend during all the festivities honoring Tony Gwynn- who is getting inducted into Cooperstown next weekend. Gaslamp Ball has a great first-hand account of the Gwynn statue unveiling from last night — but right before that, the Padres played a cool tribute video to Tony on the jumbotron in Petco Park.
I applaud the Padres’ musical selection on this one – and had to share.
Tony is one of the greatest ballplayers to play the game in my lifetime (and he has been in the broadcast booth for the whole Phillies-Padres series, which is priceless)- and he’s a class act to boot.
He is such a class act. It will be nice to see two guys who played their whole careers in one city going into the Hall of Fame at the same time.
How cute is this: Cole wanted to wear No. 19 because he said, “Tony made 19 a cool number.”
Precious!
I like the new layout, Texy. It makes it even easier for me to get to your goodies. I appreciate that very much.
Tony Gwynn is one of the classiest and coolest players baseball has ever seen. Am so glad he is getting inducted into the HOF!
