Beyond the Batter's Box: The Hall of Fame Life of Tony Gwynn
March 6 - September 7, 2007
Special Collections Reading Room and Donor Hall, Love Library
The SDSU Library’s Department of Special Collections, in cooperation with the SDSU Department of Athletics and the Gwynn family, has unveiled a major exhibit celebrating the life and times of SDSU’s own Tony Gwynn.
One of the greatest athletes ever to play major league baseball, and an alumnus of San Diego State University, Tony Gwynn has been an exemplary member of the SDSU and San Diego Communities throughout his life. Widely considered one of the best hitters in baseball history, he played his entire 20-year career with a single team: the San Diego Padres. This past January Tony was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He will be inducted on July 29, 2007. The exhibit is in honor of his election and recognizes the wonderful work he has done in our community. It opened in March, 2007 as part of SDSU Month and will be on display in the Library’s Donor Hall and in the Department of Special Collections.
Open hours for the exhibit are:
Fall and Spring semesters:
Monday and Tuesday: 10am-7pm
