I sat very close to him the one time I visited San Diego (old stadium) and he is a lot bigger a guy than you would ever think. What a great player.

What is even sicker is that he is 1000 hits from Pete Rose's all time hits record. Gwynn was such a great player. And he did it all on one team which is awesome too. I miss seeing him in the 3 hole when I watch San Diego.
