RIP Tony Gwynn

[YankeeVol]

Tony Gwynn hit .300 in 18 consecutive seasons from 1983 to 2000. Only Ty Cobb (23 straight seasons) had a longer such streak.

In Tony Gwynn's career, he had one three-strikeout game. There were 11 on Sunday in the majors; one of those was a four-K game, which is something Gwynn never did.

Tony Gwynn struck out only 434 times in his career, the second-fewest of any member of the 3,000-hit club.

Jay Bruce for my Reds is probably going to do that many this season.

Amazing stat - amazing player.

Very sad. He was a class act and one of the best hitters in MLB. R.I.P.Tony

I wonder what his numbers would be if he played today.
