agreed completely. i always looked forward to playing the padres just to see him. he was such a unique entity, especially in the later stages of his career. he was a real big guy with a very casual stance and whoops he hit four line drives again tonight. Same here. He was up there with guys like Frank Thomas and Junior and Pedro who I was wanted to watched whenever I could even though they had nothing to do with the Cubs. Definitely had a big Gwynn poster for a while...this is lousy news.
