Way before your time.

His wiki page currently says he's hitting .350 in heaven.

The come in threes...Tywin, the Hound, and now Tony.

That's awful

I remember in the mid 90's when he I Larry Walker were hitting around .400. They did an interview together for ESPN, and it was freaking hilarious. I tried to find it on youtube, but I couldnt. If anyone finds that interview, please post it.

No love for Shae the ***** huh?

 

[patdog]

That is terrible news. He was one of the really good guys in baseball. Always one of my favorites.

I will forever give him credit for my Nintendo RBI Baseball dominance while at MSU...

really sad news. gwynn was a beast. i had no idea his hands were "unusually small"...i guess 7 grains of pain makes a lot more sense now.

How about this tweet from Jason Stark...https://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/478594539645448192

What's crazy is I've been way behind and somehow managed to avoid all spoilers other than the Red Wedding and now that I'm finally almost caught up, you *** hats screw it up. I'm not really mad at y'all as much as my wife. I would already be completely caught up if she didn't have this crazy idea that you shouldn't watch GofT with a 5 year old and a 3 year old in the room.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Do it man. I don't know how long you have been doing it but I started when I was 16 and quit last year. I'd tried dozens of times but finally got serious. I was the biggest ******* for about a week but it's worth it. I've had maybe 3 or 4 times in the last year where I've craved one. Most of the time thinking about it makes me sick.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Hound ain't dead.

 

[BoomBoom.sixpack]

yeah don't dig his grave just yet.

[fishwater99]

The best hitter ever...

Tony Gwynn never struck out more than 40 times in a season.
Only struck out 434 times in 20 years.
He only had one 3 strikeout game in his career. Wow.

RIP

- Hit .415 with no strikeouts in 94 at-bats against Greg Maddux and .444 with one strikeout in 72 at-bats against John Smoltz. The only pitcher to strike him out more than six times was Nolan Ryan, and he still hit .302 (with nine strikeouts) in 63 at-bats against him.
