Last guy to sniff .400. Also, first player I ever got an autograph from as a kid at a Cubs game.

I didn't know he was sick,that's too bad. Great hitter wasted in San Diego,as far as notoriety. I'm sure it's a great area to live for a millionaire athlete,though. Is Puckett dead? I forgot about him.

Too bad. 54 is far, far too young to leave this life.

RIP

Not better than Gwynn. He hit .300 for 18 seasons and struck out 3 times in a game only once in his career.

In his career of over 10,000 plate appearances, he struck out three times in a game once. He never once got a golden sombrero in his career.


Mercy.

Yeah, only 434 total K in over 10,000 PA. He also didn't walk much...just wanted to hit I guess.

Too bad, always seemed like a genuine guy. Apparently quite the hoops player too. Rockin the Ronnie Lester look.

Tony Gwynn's career, he had 1 3-strikeout game. There were 11 yesterday in the majors. 1 of those was a 4 K game, which Gwynn never did.

:shock:
