Whereas in the history of major league baseball, only 22 other players have
3,000 or more base hits in their careers, including such greats as
Roberto Clemente, Rod Carew, and Hank Aaron;
Whereas Tony Gwynn is considered to be one of the greatest major league hitters
of the modern era, and was proclaimed the ``Greatest Hitter Since Ted
Williams'' by Sports Illustrated;
Whereas Tony Gwynn has won eight batting titles, tied for the National League
record only with Honus Wagner, and topped only by the American League
legend Ty Cobb;
Whereas throughout his career Tony Gwynn has consistently conducted himself with
dignity, modesty, and selflessness that has been an inspiration to all
Americans;
Whereas Tony Gwynn has also distinguished himself off the baseball diamond as an
active and valued member of the San Diego community;
Whereas Tony Gwynn, along with his wife Alicia, continue their award-winning
philanthropic efforts, and are extremely active in supporting the Tony
and Alicia Gwynn Foundation, the Casa de Amparo, Police Athletic League,
New Haven Home, Neighborhood House, the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA, the
Epilepsy Society of San Diego, and many more organizations;
Whereas in 1998, Tony Gwynn led all Padres players in community appearances and
joined seven-time American League batting champion Rod Carew for a
historic youth batting clinic in Culiacan, Mexico, in March 1998; and
Whereas Tony Gwynn was named the Individual of the Year at the 1998 Equal
Opportunity Awards Dinner, was the 1995 Branch Rickey Award winner, as
well as the 1998 Padres nominee for Major League Baseball's Roberto
Clemente Man of the Year Award: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives congratulates and
commends Tony Gwynn of the San Diego Padres for his amazing
accomplishments on and off the baseball field, and thanks him for many
years of unsurpassed baseball excitement.
