The late, great Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn was named to 15 MLB All-Star Games during the course of his 20-year major league career with the San Diego Padres. This lot includes a commemorative, beautifully engraved crystal bowl that Gwynn was awarded for being a participant in the 1995 All-Star Game, which took place on July 11 at The Ball Ballpark in Arlington, Texas. Gwynn helped the N.L. squad post a 3-2 victory that night over their A.L. counterparts. The etched bowl, which measures 10” across by six inches high, includes the official 1995 All-Star Game logo and the date (July 11, 1995) as well as “TONY GWYNN” and “SAN DIEGO PADRES” around the circumference. Images of both a pitcher and batter swinging through complete the artwork.
Includes Letter of Authenticity from the Gwynn Family.
