The San Diego Union-Tribune Sports Articles
These articles are the capstone of the Union-Tribune’s coverage of a storied, one-team career destined for Cooperstown.
Description
Estate-collected poster featuring preserved San Diego Union-Tribune sports articles chronicling Tony Gwynn’s remarkable journey with the Padres. One standout article is dated August 7, 1993—just a day after Gwynn recorded his 2,000th career hit. That season, he exemplified elite contact hitting, striking out just 19 times over 534 plate appearances—an extraordinary 3.6% strikeout rate. These headlines serve as a printed time capsule of a career built on consistency, discipline, and loyalty to one city and one team, ultimately culminating in a first-ballot Hall of Fame induction.

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.
