You’ll see this image floating around the internet a lot this week, probably without credit. My buddy Chris, (@sportsbrain) snapped the photo.

Right place at the right time for a powerful image. A bit of a hidden gem in this image is that it takes us down memory lane with the jerseys. Gwynn wore so many for the Padres.
Left to right, the jerseys I see: ’85-’90 home, ’97-’03 alternate, ’80-’84 home, ’97-’03 alternate, ’91-’00 home, ’80-’84 home batting practice, and ’80-’84 home. Those jerseys span Gwynn’s entire Padres career. Pretty cool.
