54, too damn young.
Best pure hitter I ever seen. RIP Tony.
Two of my favorite players, T. Gwynn and Robin Yount, both wore #19 and only played for one team. Beloved in San Diego like Robin is in Wisconsin. If he wasn't your favorite player, he probably was your second or third. What a down to earth and wonderful man.
He's the Aaron Rodgers of San Diego - as big as it gets here for sports stars. I met him once several years ago, and he was incredibly nice and shockingly humble. He wanted to know more about me and the others we were with than he wanted to talk about himself. Really sad story.
Tough one.
All class.
Yup, it's a tough one.
RIP Tony.
Top shelf stuff.
