Tony Gwynn 3000th Hit Celebration photograph

Dateafter 1999 August 06

DescriptionA full-length color photograph of (from left to right) Jeff Idelson, Dale Petroskey, and Tony Gwynn. Idelson, Vice President of Communications and Education at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, and Petroskey, President of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, both wear suits and ties. Idelson, left, shown in profile, places his left hand on the grip of Gwynn's bat, that he used to earn his 3,000th hit, holding it waist height, perpendicular to the ground. Resting his right arm down by his side, Idelson looks forward, smiling. Petroskey, center, shown from the rear, holds the cleats and helmet worn by Gwynn when he broke 3,000, in his left hand, waist height. Gwynn, right, wearing a San Diego Padres alternate uniform, rests his right arm down by his side, while holding a microphone is his left hand, resting his left arm against his chest. Gwynn turns his head to his left, looking downwards. Visible to the right of Gwynn is a lectern with the San Diego Padres team name and alternate 'swinging friar' logo on the front. Behind this group several people sitting in the infield are visible. An occupied stadium can also be seen in the distance. Based on the nature of this ceremony, this image was taken after August 6, 1999, the day Gwynn completed his 3,000th hit.
