Tony Gwynn's 3000th Hit

[edit]
  • August 6, 1999: Tony Gwynn of the San Diego Padres got the 3,000th hit of his career. After the hit, first base umpire Kerwin Danley personally congratulated Tony Gwynn after the hit because they were teammates at San Diego State. Gwynn had four singles in the game. Gwynn became the twenty-second member of the three-thousand hit club and accomplished the feat on his mother's birthday.
