Rip to him. I hate that cancer took him out like that. This kinda ? my head up because he along with other unsung black mlb players Puckett (Puckett died too soon also) and winfield got me initially watching baseball in late 80s. He was my cousin my favorite player we used to trade gwynn cards. He was the real deal uber hitter like everyone stating right now

Gwynn's career-high .394 average during the strike-shortened 1994 season remains the highest to lead either league since Williams batted .406 in 1941. Gwynn always believed had it not been for the strike, which ended the season in mid-August, he would have hit .400.
Gwynn won his first batting title in 1984, his first full big league season, with a .351 average. He won three straight batting crowns from 1987-89 and four straight from 1994-97. His .370 average in 1997 was the highest in the NL (for a full season) since Stan Musial's .376 in 1948. The only year Gwynn did not reach the .300 mark was 1982, his rookie season, when he played in 54 games. He stole 319 bases, including 56 in '87 and 40 in '89. He averaged 22 strikeouts a year. He is the Padres' career leader in virtually every offensive category.
