Tony Gwynn, who banged out 3,141 hits during a Hall of Fame career spanning 20 seasons with the San Diego Padres, has died of cancer at age 54, it was announced Monday.
The lefty-swinging Gwynn, nicknamed Mr. Padre, had a career .338 batting average, won eight National League batting titles and played in the franchise's only two World Series.
He died early Monday morning at Pomerado Hospital in Poway, California, while surrounded by his family, the Baseball Hall of Fame announced.
Dirk Hayhurst’s latest piece for Sports on Earth doesn’t name any names, but it hardly needs to. In it, he indicates that the March 2011 incident in which a house shared by Rays players Evan Longoria, David Price and Reid Brignac was robbed also featured a “pillow-case-sized” bag of weed, something that never made it into the press.
ExposNation’s 2014 fan game will be July 12 at Citi Field in New York. Make a statement to Major League Baseball that Montreal wants its baseball team back. Buy your tickets at Mets.com/ExposNation and you’ll automatically be sitting with fellow Expos fans.
PLUS, enjoy a FREE Huey Lewis and the News concert following the game!
Can’t make it to NY on this day? No problem. Wear your Expos apparel and bring #ExposDay signs to your nearest MLB park (and let us know about it!).
I'm watching the Mets game but I don't expect to see any Expos logos appear on screen. The section they're all sitting in is on the first base side in the upper deck. They'd have been more visible if they'd sat in the outfield bleachers like they did last year in Toronto. So far, unless I missed it, the Mets' broadcasters haven't mentioned them (but we're only in the 6th inning)
Like the city of Montrealthe mets couldnt care less about the ex expos unfortunately
This is just too rich.

Selig meeting BBWAA called Montreal Jay/Mets 95,000 "Very impressive" and suggested MTL is a legit future consideration
