For such a long surgery he is showing very little residual problems.
God bless, Tony.

Hang in there Tony, you can beat this thing.

In the meantime, a thought for the Kid, too. Just a crummy winter all around for medical news out of the game.

Tony Gwynn was my childhood baseball hero, and I’ve enjoyed the time he has been an analyst for the Padres games, so I hope he has a good recovery and will get the chance to hear him as an analyst again. His wisdom and experience of the game is priceless.

The details he provides and his knowledge of game situations makes him a really enjoyable listen. That plus his genuineness, he’s just a truly nice human being. Get well Tony, can’t wait to listen and watch this year, you make the Padres bearable.

He’s also a fun guy to listen to whenever he’s interviewed or brought into the booth as a guest.

I hope his recovery is speedy and does not impair him from continuing to share his passion for the game.
