The late, great Tony Gwynn was a member of baseball’s exclusive “3,000 Hit Club.†He registered a total of 3,141 hits during his impressive career with the San Diego Padres. One of his milestone hits (No. 1500) occurred on August 15, 1990, against then-Montreal Expos southpaw reliever Steve Frey. The game, which was played at San Diego’s Jack Murphy Stadium, went into extra innings where the Expos eventually secured a 5-3 win in 17 innings. This lot includes the official National League (White) baseball that Gwynn hit for his 1,500th career base knock. The ball includes a special callout that reads: “1500th Base Hit – hit off of Frey of Montreal at San Diego Stadium. 8-15-90.†It even includes Gwynn’s line score across the sweet spot: “6AB - 0R - 2H - 2RBI.â€Â
Includes Letter of Authenticity from the Gwynn Family.
