RIP Tony Gwynn
Sad news today as it was announced that Tony Gwynn has died at the too-young age of 54. He was known to be dealing with cancer, but this is a huge shock to baseball fans everywhere. "Mr. Padre" was one of the greatest hitters the game has even seen, and a guy universally liked around the sport. His death is a great loss to baseball, its fans, and most of all, his family and friends. Rest in peace, Mr. Gwynn.

Great loss indeed. Way too young. Lost my Dad to cancer. I'm 51 now makes you feel very mortal
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear it. My grandpa died of cancer as well. It's a shame Tony's likely had to do with his chewing habit, so I hope this opens some eyes.
DeleteWay too young. Rest in peace, Mr. Gwynn.
ReplyDeleteI'll always remember him from the '84 and '98 World Series teams and seeing his Hall induction speech in person.
