From cancer. A terrible loss for MLB. Was a great hitter and classy guy. Sad to hear. RIP, Tony. :( Title: Re: MLB great Tony Gwynn dead at 54 Post by: ricky023 on June 16, 2014, 10:51:33 AM I saw Tony come into Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta and put hitting clinics. Nobody could beat his bat. He was a gentleman as far as I ever knew. RIP, RTR!

In 1994, Tony had a 1.022 OPS mark with only 19 strike outs. That, my friends, is some good hittin'.

He was always one of my favorite players, and one of the best hitters of all time. RIP Tony. :(
