Tony Gwynn Good Quotations

When I wake up in the morning, I don't think of myself as being better than anybody else. I think of myself as a good hitter.

When you sign your name on the dotted line, it's more than just playing baseball. You have a responsibility to make good decisions and show people how things are supposed to be done.

I had no idea that all the things in my career were going to happen. I sure didn't see it. I just know the good Lord blessed me with ability, blessed me with good eyesight and a good pair of hands, and then I worked at the rest.

I think the ability to hit - some guys have it and some guys don't - but I think how dedicated you are to trying to get the most out of yourself, I think kind of determines how good you are and for how long. I was born with the ability to hit, but my work ethic has taken it to the next level.

It makes Spring Training so much better. You get fed good food, you get first-class treatment. As an athlete, what more can you ask for?
