Nothing but excellent things to say about the man as each and every time the PAdres came through Chicago he was a class act. I knew he was sick but had no clue it was this bad. The baseball world has lost a good man today.

I am in shock! I didn't think he was this bad. He was ALWAYS underrated and underappreciated. I am glad to watch him growing up as a kid in the Gwynn, Mattingly, Boggs and Puckett (RIP) era of great hitters.....RIP to a true great ambassador of the game.

Great player and even better man off the field.

I met him twice at card shows. Once he signed a ball for a guy, he didn't feel his signature looked good on the ball, he had promoter grab a new ball and signed again plus gave him the first ball.

I very much loved his playing style and personality off the field. Even after he retired I have many fond memories of watching him tell great stories on TV while doing in-game analysis. I used to do an imitation of Gwynn with my brother that would start out with "Me, Mark and Sammy..."
