We remember Tony Gwynn who was born in Los Angeles on this day in 1960.
Like Clemente and Aaron, Gwynn played in the shadows of better known players in bigger markets.
Yet, he put together an amazing career: .338 career average or the best since Ted Williams retired with a .344 average.
Unfortunately, I did not get to see Gwynn play because I’ve always lived in AL cities.
He was the quiet superstar and best pure hitter since Rod Carew.
