Description

This basketball, signed by two basketball legends, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, with the inscription “Barcelona ’92,” holds special significance as it was gifted to Tony Gwynn. Before becoming a baseball superstar, Gwynn was an accomplished basketball player, excelling during his time at San Diego State University. As a dual-sport athlete, Gwynn earned recognition for his prowess on the basketball court, and this basketball reflects the connection between his basketball beginnings and his baseball legacy.


The “Barcelona ’92” inscription refers to the 1992 Summer Olympics, where Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were part of the iconic "Dream Team" that brought home the gold for the USA in men’s basketball. This ball serves as a symbol of Gwynn’s multifaceted athletic talent and the mutual respect between him and two of basketball’s greatest players.
