   One of the greatest hitters we have ever seen.

2. I bet if he hadn’t passed away, he could’ve walked on to a court at the Y or something and would’ve been the best player on the court well into his 60’s.

3. Every time I see a Tony Gwynn stat it’s insane.

4. What’s with all Gwynn glazing recently?

5. The WAR boys will tell you he’s below average for a hall of famer

6. Somebody make a Tony Gwynn stats subreddit. I don’t know enough about baseball or care enough.
