San Diego reminds everyone that Tony Gwynn is fat …
Posted by: Richie Rich in MLB Hall of Fame, Padres, Tony Gwynn
The City of San Diego is getting ready to honor the biggest hitter and the best player in the history of the San Diego Padres.
Tony Gwynn will be inducted into Baseball’s Hall of Fame this Sunday in Cooperstown, New York.
.
3,141 Hits in 9,288 At-Bats in 2,440 Games. That’s a lifetime .338 Average, Folks. 15 All-Star Appearances, 8 NL Batting Titles, 7 Silver Slugger Awards, 5 NL Gold Gloves, and just a class act all around.
A First-Ballot Hall-of Famer.
And he just got put on the Wheaties box.
So how is San Diego going to recognize this great honor?
They’re going to remind everyone that he was a big fatty by putting one of his jerseys up on the side of a building.
Come on … Gwynn was portly, but he was never that big. Thumbs down to San Diego.

Ol’ Tony was getting fatter and fatter each year toward the end of his career. His speed (both bat and legs) seemed to not be affected like I thought they would.
And Cal had a full head of hair.
