thats unreal the stats your mentioning fellas, especially playing in a pitching friendly ballpark, he was definitely a special talent and good guy.

He had 297 three hit games and 1 three strikeout game.

That is absolutely amazing.

I had no idea. Has anybody else done anything like this?

Gwynn is the only player starting his career after 1940 with a career average of .338 or better

Three of my four sons had a brief interaction with Tony years ago at an Indiana Pacer game. Tony was truly a gentleman and had great respect for the fans and the game of baseball. This further separates him from so many current day athletes.... who need their collective butts kicked.

Afraid there won't be many (if any). Agents, lawyers, refugees from Cuba...... hard to have things like they used to be!

I would just love to see some more guys that know how to play fundamental baseball. That's whats lacking today IMO. Get em on, get em over, get em in.

It's like LeBron did it. Who needs to hang around and learn any fundamentals. Just jump right up if you are a genetic freak and start pretending you are Michael Jordan. Pretty pathetic act, by the way!
