I was a contact hitter my whole career but I learned how to handle the ball inside. And Ted Williams played a big part in that. He gave me the advice on how to handle inside pitches. Tony Gwynn adviceballbig Change image and share on social
I think if you enjoy teaching, if you enjoy talking about your craft, that's probably the best way to do it... because once a player starts to get it, once he figures it out, he'll never forget it. Tony Gwynn craftenjoyfigure Change image and share on social
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. Tony Gwynn goodhittermorning Change image and share on social
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. Tony Gwynn baseballdecisiondot Change image and share on social
When I was a kid, man, my dad used to buy me the Ted Williams glove at Sears with the Ted Williams shoes with the eight stripes on 'em. I used to play Little League, and I was Ted Williams-ed out. Tony Gwynn buydadglove Change image and share on social
Steroids do not guarantee you're going to have success. I think a lot of people think that they will, but they don't. Tony Gwynn guaranteelotpeople Change image and share on social

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. Tony Gwynn abilitybeardedicate share on social
I try to keep it real simple. I try not to add a lot of frosting on what I'm doing. Just take the swing and don't muscle the swing, because if you get in the hitting position and you take the swing, I generate a lot more bat speed, and that works for me. Tony Gwynn addbatfrost share on social
