The late Tony Gwynn recorded a club-best 3141 hits during his 20-year career as a member of the San Diego Padres. And in just his second season with the team in 1983 he set a new club record by hitting safely in 25 straight games. He broke the teams old record of 21 straight games by hitting safely in his 22nd consecutive game on September 14 1983. He turned the trick by going 3-for-4 against San Francisco Giants starter Mike Krukow. This lot includes an official game-used National League (Feeney) baseball from that game that helped extend the streak to 22 games. On the sweet spot of the baseball the following text is written in green ink: Padres 22 Consecutive Games Hitting Streak Record. Just below that on the south panel the following hand-written text appears: Sept. 14 1983 against GIANTS at San Diego Stadium off of Krukow AB-4 - R-0 - H-3 - RBI-2.
Includes Letter of Authenticity from the Gwynn Family.
