A Statuesque Figure


Because the guy clearly hasn't received enough recognition over the years, the Padres have decided to honor an often-overlooked player, Hall of Famer-elect Tony Gwynn.
The Padres announced Thursday they will unveil a statue of Gwynn outside Petco Park in July. Gwynn, who coaches in a college stadium named after himself, now will have a statue of himself outside the ballpark that sits on a street named after himself -- 19 Tony Gwynn Drive.
Hell, why don't we just rename the freaking city, Gwynn Diego? We're sure it's only a matter of time before that's coming.
And about that statue.
We're sure it'll be a lovely work of art. Because when we think of statuesque figures, we think Tony Gwynn.
But just wondering, will they have to redo the statue every year to reflect TGwynn's ever-expanding waistline?

Between Tony Gwynn, David Wells, Phil Mickelson and Antonio Gates, we have no shortage of fat people to make fun of in this town.
And now that we think about, even Brad Holland is starting put on the pounds. But he won't be around much longer.
