Tony Gwynn Batting photograph
Date1996 August 06
DescriptionA full-length action color photograph of Tony Gwynn completing his 3,000th hit. Shown in profile, Gwynn wears a San Diego Padres road uniform, helmet and batting gloves. Depicted mid-swing, Gwynn supports his weight between his straight, front right leg and his back, bent left leg. Placing his left hand over right on the grip of the bat, Gwynn holds the bat waist height on his left side. Gwynn directs his gaze forward and down, in the direction of the ball he has just made contact with. The blurred outlines of both the bat and Gwynn himself, indicate their motion. Captured in-game, the opposing catcher is seen in the lower right corner of the image. Visible in the background of the image is an occupied dugout.
