#402 Tony Gwynn All-Star
Why this card is awesome: Because this is a great card for a great player, and those notes on the back are amazing. I can't be reminded too often that he hit a whopping .370 in 1987.
Not only did he hit .370 in 1987, but that wasn't his best season! Is there anybody else that has had 2 seasons over .370 since 1956?
ReplyDeleteAnother great choice... they choose RUNS! for Tony Gwynn's category, RUNS!! Not hits or average. RUNS!!!
