[ 1) Gwynn had one game in his MLB career in which he struck out 3 times in a game.
And the lone pitcher who fanned Gwynn three times in a game was none other than Bob Welch, who died several days ago.
Klydon, you always find great nuggets like this. That is a strange coincidence. I remember Welch's playing days, but didn't realize until his passing how long he lasted in MLB. In my mind, I equated Welch as a Dodger, despite his later success with Oakland.
