First ballot HOFer, Tony Gwynn. In an era before MLB teams used video for scouting, Gwynn pioneered the practice of recording and studying video to improve his hitting, for which he received the nickname "Captain Video". Widely considered the greatest player in Padres history, Gwynn regularly accepted less money to remain with the small-market team; he became a civic icon for the city of San Diego. On the front left tail of this white pinstriped knit, is the MLB / RUSSELL ATHLETIC size 50 label with a materials tag attached: 100% POLYESTER. Team name (PADRES) across the chest and player number (9) on the back - both done in navy on white on orange tackle twill. Player name (GWYNN) arched across the back in navy tackle twill. Padres 1969 -1999 NL patch on the left sleeve. Gwynn has signed the back number in silver marker, in our opinion rating a strong 9. This jersey is properly tagged, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate wear. Accompanied by a letter from BECKET for the autograph.
