Let's take a second against the Padres to look at what Tony Gwynn did as a Padres player.
Played 20 seasons....
* career avg .338
* from 1993-1997 his batting average was .368
* most remember him being heavy, stole over 300 SB including 56 in one season
* had more walks than strikeouts 19 out of 20 seasons
* from age 30 on he played 12 seasons....only one time did he strikeout 25 or more times in a season....and the year he did he had 28 whiffs in 651 plate appearances and hit .372
* in his final 12 seasons he struck out once out of every 31 plate appearances
* 8x batting champ
* 5x Gold Glove
* his final season at age 41 and vastly overweight he hit .324.
Loved Tony Gwynn
lol
Wish I had a stat available that showed how many times Homer is handed a lead in the middle innings and goes right back out and coughs it up the next inning.
Rounding third and heading for home...
nice pitch
Love Votto obviously, who doesnt, but hes only seen like 4 pitches this game. Wonder if it has anything to do with the knee.
Nice, Bailey's own error saves his ERA a run lol.
Bruce with ANOTHER brain cramp
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
