	Tony Gwynn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tony Gwynn is currently the head coach for his alma mater, the San Diego State University Aztecs, and until recently was a part-time analyst for ESPN.
		Gwynn began using the smaller bats while playing his first season of professional ball for San Diego's A-level Walla Walla Padres minor league club in 1981 because he was having trouble adapting to wood bats and wanted something of a similar weight to the aluminum bats he used in college.
		Gwynn was also a good baserunner (319 career steals) prior to gaining some weight in the last years of his career, and proficient with a glove for most of his career, winning five Gold Glove Awards from 1986 to 1991 despite playing much of his career with knee problems.
