“It’s Not the Bat. It’s the Balls.” Poster
Iconic poster from the Tony Gwynn Estate pairs bold humor with a legacy of elite hitting—an attitude matched only by his numbers.
Description
This poster features the unforgettable slogan, “It’s not the bat. It’s the balls.”—a nod to Gwynn’s swagger and unmatched command at the plate. From 1984 to 1997, Gwynn finished in the top five in batting average 13 times, a testament to his precision and consistency. He also recorded 45 four-hit games during his career, regularly dismantling pitchers with surgical skill. This piece captures both the personality and performance that made Gwynn a legend.
