    Including postseason play, Tony Gwynn faced 18 Hall of Fame pitchers for a total of 541 plate appearances. That’s a full season’s worth of plate appearances against Hall of Famers. Gwynn batted .331/.371/.426.

    KLC, that's amazing. Remember how wide-open some of those Western games were.

    Three months later, he would be gone. I know Topps issued a Clemente card for the upcoming set. They thought about removing that card but released the set just two weeks after his death.

    Here is the 1973 Topps card I reference. Pretty cool b/c you can see the 3000 Hits right on the back.

    2) Ryan is such an interesting study. It's almost like he had three careers, it was that long. On the upstart Met team, I envision him as a young colt. The exploding fastball was obvious. But he struggled to harness his control.

    Somewhere along the way, he developed an amazing work ethic. I know he did a ton of stationary-bike work. His legs were like tree trunks. His performance was a bi-product of hard work. All the stats: the strikeouts, the no-hitters.

    The longevity was amazing. Pitching into your late 40s? Cmon.

    A few images stick out to me on Ryan:
    1) Celebrating all the No Hitters. Imagine doing that 7x!
    2) Greeting Morganna the Kissing Bandit on the mound. Ha-ha. If memory serves, Nolan went to his knees and embraced her.
    3) And who can forget the Ryan fight versus Robin Ventura? Not sure Ventura expected a 45-year old man to headlock him and give him a beating.
