Collected from the Tony Gwynn Estate, this gray “Steady Play” T-shirt embodies the work ethic and quiet excellence that defined Gwynn’s approach to the game. Known for his tireless pre-game routine, Gwynn earned the nickname “Captain Video” for the countless hours he spent studying tape to perfect his swing. That dedication paid off—he batted over .300 for 19 consecutive seasons. The only exception? His 1982 rookie campaign, in which he hit .289 across just 54 games. This shirt is a subtle but meaningful tribute to one of baseball’s most steady and prepared professionals.

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.
