WetbanditsDan: Rent strike is the only way. Stephen Gwynn (deeply unradical) in 1912: "not one human being in Ireland believes that without the agitation—the lawless, violent agitation of 1902, centering round the De Freyne evictions—we should have got the Land Act of 1903.”

MichaelasCage: Pet Sematary is one of the best adaptions of a Stephen King book. The tone and dreadful mood of this movie really make it an uncomfortable watch keeping you tense throughout it. Fred Gwynn as Judd is a great performance and Zelda gave nightmares to my entire generation. 8.5/10

ColeyHarvey: On June 8, 2010, Stephen Strasburg and Giancarlo Stanton made their major league debuts. Strasburg’s was THE story in baseball. After all, only the year before, he had been drafted first overall by Washington after a stellar career for Tony Gwynn at San Diego State.

stephen_petrus: Tony Gwynn was graceful like a painter, spraying hits to all parts of the field, like Picasso would've.

jaromjordan: Two thoughts. 1) Many my age or younger don’t know Tony Gwynn was an All-WAC guard (2x) and had some fun battles with Ainge (8.2 assists/gm in 79-80!). 2) Calling games when he was the SDSU Baseball coach was cool (including Stephen Strasburg) on BYUtv was dope.

MLBStats: The legendary Tony Gwynn would have been 60 years old today. We will never see another player like Mr. Padre.

harpergordek: Were the Nationals right not to pitch Stephen Strasburg in the 2012 postseason? Yes. And this was the correct answer before last year and before he signed. Tony Gwynn would have hit .400 in 1994? YES

sdutkirKDKenney: Tony Gwynn liked to say how much he enjoyed flipping over his baseball card and seeing the same team name for each year of his career. Thought about that — and wondered if it crossed the mind of the 2019 World Series MVP — when I heard Stephen Strasburg re-signed with Nationals.

CityHall03: Entering tonight: "In six World Series starts, Justin Verlander is 0-5 with a 5.73 ERA, and his team has won just one of those games." Stephen Strasburg, with Tony Gwynn literally sitting on his back for six starts, would be better than that.

Edgar Albert Guest Poem
The Killing Place
 by Edgar Albert Guest

We're hiking along at a two-forty pace
We 're making life seem like a man-killing race,
