I don't usually cry when sports heroes pass away. I get sad, sure, but I move on. When I saw that Tony died, I broke down in tears, and didn't expect that. It was more of a baseball thing, as a native San Diegan, born in 1980, Tony WAS the Padres. He WAS San Diego for me. It was the Zoo, Wild Animal Park, and Tony Gwynn. He could have played anywhere and made more money , but chose to stay in San Diego his whole career. That meant a lot to a kid growing up that your favorite player loved the city and team so much, he took less money to stay loyal. When people talk about guys like Mike Trout "wasting" his career in Anaheim, I think of guys like Tony, where city and team loyalty are rare with guys.
Mr Casteberry, we have a similar connection in that I was born in 1969 in San Diego and so were the MLB Padres. I listened on my AM radio for the Padres radio broadcasts when I was little. When I was 5 years old, I saw Randy Jones at San Diego Stadium before it was renamed and the Padres won. It was all so loud and big, but I remember it. When I grew up, I realized that the Padres didn't win that many games, but I always listened, hoping for a win. Then Tony Gwynn came along. Sometimes I didn't care about the Padres winning if at least Tony could get 2 or 3 hits.
I feel you. I was born in 1982 and a native Texan. When Nolan Ryan dies I will probably break down too. #TexasRangers
I remember June 16, 2014 very vividly. Cried like a baby in my office once I got into work after the news broke. Literally the first time I ever wept for someone I didn't know personally. However, because Tony was so much more than just a ballplayer and was so embedded as an adopted son of San Diego, you couldn't help but feel like you've known the guy like he's part of your family. I also remember listening to the Padres flagship radio station that entire morning and there were SO many people calling into the station in grief, the new radio morning show host at the time (Dan Sileo) was directed by management to stay on air well past his slot to field as many calls as he can.
I did too. Watched an old 2007 Padres/Dodgers game with him in the booth yesterday. He was genuinely good in the booth and could tell he enjoyed the game.
We could add Junior Seau as well.
Jr sounds just like pops
Anthony used the “cookie” line in a game recently. Just close your eyes SD. And he’s still here.
One of the most underrated players EVER! One of the sweetest swings you’ll ever see!
I absolutely LOVED Tony Gwynn! He was amazing
its crazy because he’s considered one of the best ever and is still a little underrated when you look at the numbers and the era he played in
Underrated? Ha. Ask Greg Maddox how he feels about facing Tony.
I grew up in San Diego. I had the honor of seeing Tony play through my childhood. Especially in 1998. I probably went to 30 games at home. He was the reason I played baseball. There will never be a day where I don’t think about him. I will be a padre fan forever.
This is the baseball payer and the game i miss
I remember when he passed away the Padres were playing in Seattle I was in San Diego so I had to honor him somehow I looked at the angel schedule they were in Chicago and then I looked at none other than the enemy lines dodger stadium I went there with my Tony Wynn jersey Padre to all out and they showed my jersey on the jumbotron and the ovation was tremendous I'll never forget that
Wow thanks for sharing that it gave me the chills.
Mr. Padre was one of a kind. One of the greatest hitters ever. Can hit to all fields and the fact that he never hit below .300 after his rookie season. One of the sweetest swing and high IQ Amazing R.I.P. Mr. Gwynn
Can you imagine how humble this man was? He wasn't sure if he would get voted into the Hall of Fame wow I mean just wow.
I love keith David. What a great choice for narrator.
I’ve been a Padre Fan since 1989. Loved going to Jack Murphy stadium.
I always remember when he would take his position in right and salute us fans in section 51 at the Murph. We never forgot you Tony. Your statue has been moved to Gallagher Square (Park at the Park) where there is a display and a video highlights tribute for younger generations to see. You showed so many kids the right things to do.
Tony Gwynn represents everything that's great about baseball.
I'm from L.A. and grew up with the Dodgers of course yet Tony Gwynn is my favorite player all time, and that's for any sport. No better human and the greatest hitter ever. God bless you Tony, may your soul be in peace~
San Diego misses you just as much now as we did then. Thank you, Tony.❤
What a sweet man and what a great baseball player. Loyal to one team and his family to the end. There will never be any one like him ever again.
Tribe fan here. He was always one of my favorite ballplayers.
I miss him so much
Who left this bowl of onions next to me…
My favorite left handed hitter…EVER!!!
Tony, we will win one for you soon!!
Stellar
Peace to Tony Gwynn and his Fam
What a great man, I met Tony at the 1984 world series in Detroit he was very friendly and nice to fans all alike your dad is a great man 😊
Real baseball back then the love of the game the love of a city One City cherished this man he knew of he went to LA or NY or Boston those fans wouldn't care like they did in San Diego California
Great Player.
Beautiful wife and 3 beautiful children.
He will be remembered for more than baseball!
him and junior have the exact same voice.
They were always friendly snd chummy. 2 classy funny dudes.
I met Tony in 2000ish at the In&Out on the border of Santee and El Cajon. I was a fan growing up.
Rest in Love Tony
WE LOVE YOU TONY!! ♥️
Pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing. Never seen this. Got to learn more about Tony. As a sdsu alum I gotta go check out his tributes at sdsu campus and the new museum at Gallagher square
Tony Gywnn with narration by Keith David?
Superb!
22:36. "There should have been another league for him to go to, but the major league was the last one." Pretty sure Tony was an alien.
He went to the next league in heaven
One of my favorite memories as a child was watching a Cape Cod summer league baseball game where Tony Gwynn Jr. was playing. Tony was there watching his son and he signed baseballs for me my siblings and cousins. He was awesome and so gracious.
THANK YOU FOR THIS. i was in tears
You're so welcome!
still missin' Tony & his laugh...
Thank you for uploading this. I do miss his laugh.
He and Wade Boggs were the two best pure hitters I've ever seen. (As someone who didn't really start following baseball until 1995.)
too bad you started late. You missed George Brett's prime. Best hitter in my lifetime. And I'm a Yankees fan.
RIP legend!! ❤️
Best guy ever!
One of the best hitters ever! I'm glad I got too witness his career. God Bless 🙏
Thank you. What a great tribute to a truly remarkable man. ❤❤❤
8 batting titles wow 👌
The only bad thing about this is Olberman’s arrogance. Their relationship was priceless and Gwynn is a great ball player and man.
Jr sounds just like Sr!!
I don't think ANYONE will hit above .390 for a season again. EVER.
Thank you so much for posting! Would love to see the network special on Bob Uecker as well, if you have it available?
They should do a .220 beer for Tony Gwynn Jr
great video. Are you able to upload MLB Presents-Brett?
We won't need to upload a documentary available on the MLB.TV site: www.mlb.com/tv/shows/mlb-documentaries-svod-video-list/mlb-network-presents-brett
Bruce Bochy is this🤩🤩🤩🤩
I’m a Texas Rangers fan
Weird that the only bad thing he ever did was chew tobacco, and it took him down.
We don't know how many young folks may have chosen to give up smokeless tobacco because of the example of his suffering and death. www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2014/06/Tony_Gwynn_death_dangers_smokeless_tobacco.html
