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.
