In my years covering MLB, easily the most approachable, greatest person I met was Tony Gwynn. May he rest in peace. Heartbroken.

Every kid in San Diego had 2 sports heroes: Junior Seau and Tony Gwynn. Hard to believe they are both gone. Sad day.

I was 12, at SD school of baseball, when a voice said: "Son, you need a lighter bat." It was Tony Gwynn. He just gave me his.

Tony Gwynn. Great hitter, great coach, great man. I still have his poster that hung in my bedroom when I was a kid. RIP.

Tony Gwynn hit .300 in 18 consecutive seasons from 1983 to 2000. Only Ty Cobb (23 straight) had a longer such streak.

#AztecNation I feel your pain today. We've lost more than a great player but a great man. My friend T Gwynn. There are no words to console

You're one of the best hitters ever and people are more impressed by who you were as a person. Tony Gwynn, that's a legacy.

Tony Gwynn has died. San Diego has lost another son. He chose to stay here his entire career -- and then some. Now he's gone way too soon.
