Exactly. Who cares what the guy looks like now? He's one of the greatest hitters to ever play the game, and a good analyst to boot. Lets also throw in that was 500 times the athlete that 95% of the population could ever hope to be.

Why men criticize how other men look is beyond me. Save it for some stupid broads on ESPN who are ONLY on TV for their looks. And even if they weren't, they're still women, so it's fair game. Come on now, f ellas.

Edit: Can we get the word "f ellas" unbanned? Nobody's talking about smartz leaving anymore. Get on that shit, mods.

Yeah, to boot.

at least he doesn't speak like fathead
joe buck

ps anyone missing fox's blue screen behind home plate?

As 3rd gradish as it is to say, everyone does it because it makes a person feel better about themselves, temporarily. ILWM I am not saying it made you feel better about yourself necessarily.

When they showed tony in the "wide"shot in the booth, I actually thought to myself, "wow, looks like Tony has LOST some weight."

I think he's actually been bigger recently.

With the All-Star game in San Diego this season, it’s impossible not to think about San Diego Padres legendary outfielder Tony Gwynn. The Hall of Famer earned the nickname “Mr. Padre” after spending 20 exceptional seasons with the club. No player personifies the Padres better than Gwynn.
Though Gwynn died due to salivary gland cancer in 2014, his impact around the game is still felt today. That love and respect doesn’t just come from San Diego fans, it also comes from current players and even some of Gwynn’s former opponents.

One of those opponents was Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz, who just so happened to be in the booth calling the All-Star game. During a lull in the action, Smoltz managed to sum up Gwynn’s dominance at the plate with one fantastic stat.
Yes, you’re reading that correctly, Gwynn absolutely destroyed the Braves infamous pitching trio from the ’90s. He was 30-for-65 (.462) with two home runs against Smoltz, 39-for-91 (.429) off Greg Maddux and went 29-for-93 (.312) with two home runs against Tom Glavine.
That might be three separate stats, but consider his overall performance against all three players. Pretty impressive, right?
All three of those pitchers are currently enshrined in the Hall of Fame. At the plate, Gwynn treated them as if they were Triple-A fodder.
There’s a reason Rob Manfred renamed the National League Batting Champion award after Tony Gwynn just prior to the start of the game.

I agree 100%! Cannot believe Tony Gwynn is gone! What a Shame! Will never be two guys with more class to go into the HOF EVER AGAIN!

his at bat against randy Johnson in the NL playoffs was one of the finest I've ever seen.
