Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1779836, member: 289"] Tony Gwynn could handle any pitcher but he couldn't handle his tobacco habit and it likely is what killed him: [URL="http://www.si.com/mlb/2016/06/02/tony-gwynn-cancer-san-diego-padres?xid=nl_siextra"]The last days of Tony Gwynn, Padres legend[/URL] Bill Tuttle was mentioned in the story. Bill played for the Tigers and Twins for about a decade back in the 50's and early 60's, then finished his career, (as some ballplayers id in the old days), with the Syracuse Chiefs and became a popular player. I remember his last game where they had him play every position on the field and he hit a home run. Bill in his playing days, with a chaw in his cheek: [IMG]http://www.trbimg.com/img-5537e5fa/turbine/la-sp-sn-bill-tuttle-20150422/440/248x440[/IMG] Bill after they removed his jaw: [IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CiamRoCc-S0/UxXg7-Viw0I/AAAAAAAAAI4/taOK8DJmpEU/s1600/images.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
