Notre Dame “Baseball: The New Tradition” Award
A unique award from Notre Dame Baseball, a nod to his national impact on the game.
Description
This award, titled “Baseball: The New Tradition,” was presented by Notre Dame Baseball and reflects the broad respect Tony Gwynn earned across the collegiate and professional baseball landscape. Though a proud alum of San Diego State University, where he starred in both baseball and basketball, Gwynn’s influence reached far beyond his alma mater. In 1981, he was famously drafted in both sports on the same day—by the San Diego Padres and the NBA’s San Diego Clippers. This award underscores the national admiration for a player who elevated the game at every level.
