      I found this last part about Mrs Tony Gwynn (Sr) amusing:

      Gwynn called his mother, Alicia, about four hours before first pitch. He told her he would start. But he was not sure whether she would attend. The Padres held a memorial service at Petco Park a week after Tony Gwynn died.

      "It might be too tough for her to come still," Gwynn Jr. said.

      He did not need to leave her a ticket, though.

      "She finds her way in," he said.

          Tony Gwynn's family has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the tobacco industry.

            Don't know how I feel about this.
            If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

              When I first saw it I kind of rolled my eyes a bit, to be honest. Gwynn seemed like a very smart dude, and he lived in an era where everyone knew tobacco products could cause health issues.

                couldnt agree more. The guy had to know the effects of tobacco and if he didnt, thats on him.
                After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

                  It's not about Tony it;s a sadness his family has taken it to this level somewhat tarnishing his name after he's passed.
