My own personal Tony Gwynn story was when I was six years old, and I sent a letter to the Padres clubhouse asking for an autograph of Mr. Padre.  Not only did I get an autographed photo of the whole 1994 team, but Tony himself wrote a small letter on top of the organization, thanking me for being a fan.  I still kick myself to this day because I somehow lost it after 20 years and three moves.
