In his career, Tony Gwynn struck out only 434 times in 9,288 career at-bats, and never batted below .309 in any full season, although he hit .289 in his rookie season.
He played his entire career with one team, a rarity in any era, and is considered by many to be the best player to ever wear a Padres jersey.
