The late great Tony Gwynn was a member of baseballs exclusive 3000 Hit Club but he also registered a total of 1138 runs batted in during his prolific 20-year career with the San Diego Padres. One of his milestone RBI (No. 1000) occurred on May 17 1998 against the Philadelphia Phillies. In a game won by the Padres Gwynn hit a pinch-hit sacrifice fly to drive in a run off of Phillies ace Curt Schilling. This lot includes the official National League (Coleman) baseball that Gwynn hit for his 1000th career run batted in. The game-used ball includes a special callout in black ink that reads: 5/17/98 PHI Sac Fly 1000 RBI. Gwynn signed the baseball in blue ink across the sweet spot although the signature has faded significantly.
Includes Letter of Authenticity from the Gwynn Family.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
