Tony Gwynn was one of seven players I cherished as a kid watching baseball. Unfortunately he is the first of those to die. I shed a tear as I post this unforseen tragic death. He beat oral cancer brought on from six years of tobbacco use in his early playing career. That was only a little over a year ago. He will be missed. He is survived by a wife of 35 years,a son,and a daughter and a grandson. His son and namesake plays in the MLB like his father before but is just an average player unlike the father that hit everything in sight though mostly within the park. San Deigo lost a legend this day. He was only 54.
