Visiting Tony’s home was always a treat. Alicia Gwynn, hiswife, made sure that sure that his accomplishments were on display as soon as you walked in the door. In the entry way was an array of memorabilia ranging from all his Silver Slugger Awards to letters from other Hall-of-Famers he received when he was inducted several years ago.
In the backyard was a putting green aptly named “Tony’s 19th hole.” The Padres surprised him with this gift when he retired from the game.
Visitors were welcomed with open arms with an array of barbequed meat and other delicious sides.
