Description
Tony Gwynn recorded his 2,000th career hit with a single to center field—a ground ball that made its way through the shortstop and second baseman—off pitcher Bruce Ruffin. The milestone moment came during a home game against the Colorado Rockies, which the Padres won 6-2. Remarkably, this achievement occurred exactly six years to the day before Gwynn would notch his 3,000th career hit. Adding to the personal significance of the day, the hit also came on his mother's birthday, making the milestone all the more memorable in Gwynn’s legendary career.
Dimensions: 3.5" x 3.5" x 3.5" (cube)

Disclaimer: Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique marks that highlight the award’s authenticity as a career artifact. This item features a silver OVD, verifying its authenticity through the Tony Gwynn Estate. A TRuEST™ authenticator was not on-site to witness its awarding, which is why this item does not carry our gold-level witness-based authentication OVD.
