There is a tread for worst HOF, well Tony can easy be said BEST HOF you can't ask for a nicer guy.
Short story - I walked into my local food store in 91 and I saw Tony sitting at a card table by front door. With no signs or anything saying who he was or what he was doing there. I walked over and started talking, we talked for 1/2 hr. No one even stopped but me. I went home got some cards to be sign and came back, still no one had stopped to talk but me. Store didn't do right with their promotion but for me I got a one on one Q&A with a further HOF. Truly priceless. He will be missed!!

RIP Tony.
Probably the best pure contact hitter I ever had the pleasure to watch on a regular basis, baseball lost a great one today.

Used to love getting the paper in the morning and going to the box scores when I was a kid.... Had to check out Gywnn every day, he was a hitting machine and possibly had the best hand/eye coordination ever!!! RIP!!!!

I didn't even know he had an illness, and I see on here many others didn't know either.
May he rest in peace.

Wow, I just read a few days back that SDSU had extended his contract for another year. I thought he was getting better
 He is one of my favorite players, and was extremely nice to me the few times I came in contact with him. Really sad news. RIP.

I remember
going to a card show in Memphis where Tony was signing (at Christian Brothers University I think). One of my high school friends was helping some other high school and college baseball players set up the show. They all sat right up by Tony during the entire autograph session chatting with him - he with a big smile on his face the whole time. He was one of my favorite players and one of the best-of-the-best from the time when I was collecting as a kid back in the mid-80's to early 90's.
RIP Mr. Gwynn
