Mr Padre; Tony Gwynn

Backwards K Pod

No MLB icon, has a connection to his city, quite like Tony Gwynn. From his college days at San Diego University as a dominant two sport star in both basketball and baseball. To being drafted by the San Diego Padres in baseball as well as the San Diego Clippers of the NBA. To playing his entire 20 year career with the Friars and eventually returning to his college alma mater to coach baseball. This is the story of the late great Tony Gwynn, who would go onto become the greatest contact hitter of his era, in a decade defined by the longball. #TonyGwynn #AliciaGwynn #SanDiegoPadres #SanDiegoStateAztecs #MrPadre
