Baseball lost  a true legend of the sport,  HOF Tony Gwynn, Mr. Padre has passed away at age 54.  I always enjoyed Tony Gwynn as a player, R.I. P.

Yeah I just saw this. Sad to hear, prayers to his family.

Yeah. Sad to see it. One of the best hitters of all time. Heard on the radio he averaged .338 for like 20 years. Just crazy.

Couldn't believe it when I saw it...only 54. I had no idea he was even sick. Just last year I saw him on MLB network.

Sad to see this. He will be a legend... forever.

Hitting aside...one of the best players, and quite possibly the best person to play the game.  Never saw any indication that he lost control of his emotions over anything. Players today could learn from his example.

His players are better for having been around him.  You do not read about them in a negative light.

We will miss him

Well said.  I heard it on The Herd today and it pretty much stopped me in my tracks.  Hearing that brought back quite a few childhood memories and my baseball card collection.  The thing I believe I'll miss most about him is the fact that he always had a smile on his face, like he actually enjoyed playing ball like we did when we were kids.

I was watching mlb network and they did a real nice tribute to him. I love the clip they kept showing of Gwynn helping Teddy Ballgame throwing out the first pitch at the all star game. Tony will be missed for sure.

Hopefully there is a lesson to be learned about using dip. Although not officially the cause of his death, but none the less, he suffered in the end from it.
