Sad news. He was one of my favorite players growing up. I rooted for the Padres just because of him.

Gwynn was pure class on and off the field. He will always be a legend and one of the greatest hitters ever to play the game.

I also understand he would arrive at ballparks early to spend time with the grounds crews he built friendships with over the years. The baseball world lost a great one today!

Didn't really know much about him but the ESPN story last night was good to watch. I couldn't believe his numbers, the dude could rake as they say in baseball and sounded like from the testimonials he was one heck of a great man. Sorry I never got to watch him play.

Tony Gwynn was one of the classiest guys in his era. Gone way before his time and he should always be thought of as one of the best hitters in MLB history.
