Gwynn became known to fans simply as "Mr. Padre" after playing for the club for 20 seasons. Recognized as one of the most consistent hitters of all time, he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007.

During his time with the Padres, Gwynn was named an All-Star 15 times and the National League batting champion eight times.

Gwynn had attributed his salivary cancer to years of using chewing tobacco.

Major League Baseball today mourns the tragic loss of Tony Gwynn, the greatest Padre ever and one of the most accomplished hitters that our game has ever known, whose all-around excellence on the field was surpassed by his exuberant personality and genial disposition in life. Tony was synonymous with San Diego Padres baseball, and with his .338 career batting average and eight batting titles, he led his beloved ballclub to its greatest heights, including two National League pennants.
