Tony Gwynn Batting slide
Datebetween 1985 and 1990
DescriptionA full-length action color image of Tony Gwynn batting. Gwynn, facing the camera, wears a San Diego Padres road uniform, helmet, and batting gloves. Shown in profile, Gwynn is depicted in his follow through position. Gwynn supports his weight between his straight, front right leg, and his straight back left leg. Only the toe of his left cleat touches the ground. Following the momentum of his swing, Gwynn rotates his upper body to his right. While looking forward, Gwynn holds the bat, with both hands, over his right shoulder. The occupied stadium in the background indicates that this image was captured in-game. Based on the specific design of the uniform worn by Gwynn and comparisons made with other images taken during the same period, this image was captured between 1985 and 1990.
