"He died early Monday morning at Pomerado Hospital in Poway, California, while surrounded by his family, the Baseball Hall of Fame announced.
"Major League Baseball today mourns the tragic loss of Tony Gwynn," commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement Monday. "The greatest Padre ever and one of the most accomplished hitters that our game has ever known, whose all-around excellence on the field was surpassed by his exuberant personality and genial disposition in life."

This incredible ballplayer and human being retired with the highest batting average since Ted Williams retired in 1960--.338.  Since 1960, only Williams (.344), Gwynn, Stan Musial (.331), Rod Carew (.328), and Wade Boggs (.325) have retired with batting averages above .325.

R.I.P. Tony Gwynn :-(

This should serve as a dire warning to anybody who uses dip or chewing tobacco.
