Congratulations Tony
3000 Hits!
 
Tribute To Mr. Padre,
Tony Gwynn
Thanks For The Memories!

Tony Gwynn is now one of just twenty-two players EVER to reach 3000 career hits. He did it in typical, "Tony" fashion going four for five, Friday (8-6-99) in Montreal as the Padres defeated the Expos 12-10.

San Diego Headline News talked with Tony as he closed in on this historic moment. We asked Tony to reflect on all that baseball has given him and what advise he has for kids.

TONY: Get your education! The chances of guys making it at this level are slim ... I'm all for chasing your dreams ... work hard, be prepared, you never know when your opportunity is going to come. You have to be ready to not just get your foot in the door, you have to be ready to bust the door down.
