“I have known Tony Gwynn; his wife, Alicia Gwynn; their son, Anthony II; and daughter, Anisha for many years. As a matter of fact, they have dual residence. They also have property in Indianapolis, Indiana; and truly Alicia and Tony have been very generous to the community in Indianapolis, Indiana. They undergird the principle unto whom much is given, much is required. Tony is fifteenth on the all-time hit list, with over 3,140 hits. He has won eight batting titles and is a 15-time All Star. He will join the baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot. He is only the fifth National League player and seventeenth overall to play at least 20 seasons in the Major Leagues with one team. In 1994, Tony hit for the highest average, .394, since Ted Williams hit above .400 in 1941. Behind all these baseball achievements, Tony is a man who cares and supports the community.”
