I was shocked and saddened when I saw the headline. A huge loss for baseball, losing an ambassador and true class act.

Just sad day to hear about Gwynn's passing. For us guys who grew up in the 1980s, he was one of the very best.

Funny - he's at the top of a very short list of "favorite non-Brewer" players for me too. I met him at a card show in Chicago in the mid 90's - he was just set up at a table in the hotel lobby - no cordons or security - and genuinely seemed to enjoy talking baseball with the group of folks who had gathered around him. What struck me besides his graciousness was his incredibly accurate memory - one Cubs fan asked him about a specific game at Wrigley from some years earlier and Gwynn described the game circumstances - pitcher, who was on base, pitch sequence, etc. with remarkable detail. It made him almost as gifted in talking about baseball as he was playing the game. RIP.
