Tony Gwynn
The San Diego crowds you continued to amaze
in your twenty seasons playing for the Padres.
A lifetime batting average of .338
and over three thousand hits are feats so great.
As you played the outfield with fluid dexterity and grace,
the offense was ignited with your many times reaching base.
You helped lift your team from past mediocrity
to a prominent position of respectability.
You are taking your place among the best of the game
as your bronze plaque is displayed in the Hall of Fame.
