SAN DIEGO -- On Monday, local and state officials dedicated freeway signs along a stretch of Interstate 15 in North County as the Tony Gwynn Memorial Freeway to honor the late Padres' Hall of Fame outfielder.
The stretch of highway -- which runs about three miles -- goes from Scripps Poway Parkway to Camino Del Norte. Gwynn, who died in 2014 after battling cancer of the salivary gland, lived in nearby Poway.
Gwynn's family, including his widow Alicia Gwynn, daughter Anisha Gwynn Jones and son Tony Gwynn Jr. were on hand for the unveiling of the signs at the event.
