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

Re: Reds vs. Padres Saturday 7/7
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.

One of my all-time favorite non-Reds. Maybe at the top of the list. A true pro.

Love Votto obviously, who doesnt, but hes only seen like 4 pitches this game. Wonder if it has anything to do with the knee.
