Here is a stat for you:

Tony Gwynn faced Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz and Pedro Martinez 323 times. He struck out 3 times !

Glavine struck him out x2
Smoltz x1
Maddux 0
Martinez 0

Gwinn only face Martinez 11 times. But he went 11 for 11 ! lol

One of the best stat lines in all of sports.

Oh, major congrats to Stanny!!!

Yep. If you heard him speak you'd picture a skinny, late 20s white guy named Jimmy. Instead he was chunky black dude who dipped and could absolutely rake
