Tony Gwynn Batting slide
Datebetween 1985 and 1990
DescriptionA full-length action color image of Tony Gwynn batting. Gwynn, facing the camera, wears a San Diego Padres road uniform, helmet, and batting gloves. Adopting his batting stance, Gwynn stands with feet apart, knees bent, looking over his front right shoulder in the direction of the oncoming ball. Placing left hand over right on the grip of the bat, Gwynn holds the bat above his left shoulder. The occupied stadium in the background indicates that this image was captured in-game. Based on the specific design of the uniform worn by Gwynn, this image was taken between 1985, when San Diego introduced the 'SD' logo on their road uniforms, and 1990, when they retired this style.
