Tony Gwynn was the human made up Sportscenter fact

[malbaker86]

Im 35. Grew up watching and playing baseball. He’s the greatest hitter I’ll see in my lifetime

 

[Rick Roller 10]

He had more career doubles than strikeouts

 

[YaThreadFloppedB!]

This is wild

 

[I AM WE ARE]

Doesn't get the credit he deserves, "they" always wanna talk about Mickey mantle and Ted Williams

They just looked like baseball players

Died way too young at 54.

Can't be overweight and on the dipping tobacco 24/7.


People used to try to discredit him because he was "a singles hitter", too.

 

[mastermind]

the best hitter I've ever seen

Which is crazy, because I swear a lot of those same people would talk your ear off about Ichiro.

Tony was cold. Man if AAs come back to baseball I'll start watching again. 90s baseball was amazing pre roid era.

also I lived by Benito Santiago and Kevin Mitchell, both those guys were cool af.

you know the greatest thing about tony gwynn?

I've never heard anyone say anything bad about tony gwynn

 

[MikelArteta]

Gwynn struck out three times in a game only once -- against Bob Welch and the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1986.

Since Gwynn debuted in 1982, a hitter has finished a season with a batting average above .350 only 46 times. Gwynn has seven of those seasons, the most of any player in that span.

Gwynn batted .300 in every season but his rookie year, giving him a record 19 straight seasons above .300.

Since World War II, Gwynn is the only player to bat above .350 in five consecutive seasons (from 1993-97)

Gwynn's career mark of .338 ranks 17th among the all-time leaders. He would have to go 0 for his next 1,183 at-bats to fall under .300

• No hitter born after 1900 reached 3,000 hits in fewer games (2,284) or at-bats (8,874) than Gywnn. His career high in hits (220) came during his age-37 season.

Nah, metrics guys hate Ichiro, too.
