Tony Gwynn was named to his 13th National League All-Star team in 1997. The game, played on July 8 at Jacobs Field in Cleveland, Ohio, saw the N.L. squad drop a tight, 3-1, decision to their American League counterparts. This lot includes a unique gift that was awarded to each member of the ’97 N.L. All-Star team: an electric Waterford light fixture that includes an engraved plaque that includes the N.L. logo and reads: “TONY GWYNN San Diego Padres 1997 All-Star Game.” The base is a combination of brass and marble while the decorative dome-style lamp shade is actually made of Waterford Crystal and measures 11” tall. It includes an electric cord, but does not include a light bulb.
Includes Letter of Authenticity from the Gwynn Family.
