Just read that former hitting great Tony Gwynn died of cancer at age 54. What a great player and too young to be gone.
Probably the best hitter I have seen in my life time along with George Brett.
.338 career avg. over 20 years of pro ball with the same club. the stat that really got me other than the career batting avg. was Gwynn only had 434 strike outs his entire career. Only good stories about this guy off the field too.
Baseball has truly lost one of its greats.
