On Thursday the Padres will honor their recently deceased former Hall of Fame manager Dick Williams by wearing throwback uniforms from 1983.

In yesterday's interview I asked Tony Gwynn to share his memory of the man.

"He's the one who really taught me how to play the game."

Here's the audio of Gwynn reminiscing:

Loves me some AKG...

He is the man. Miss watching him play. Which I could download a couple of his old games just to watch him play now and then.

Anyone who spikes a ball after tagging out a douche like Andres Torres is OK by me.

I didn’t get to see very many games because I was young and they didn’t show Padres games up in Washington. I think the only games I know for sure that I saw was a game that I went to in April of 98 when I was 9 and then later that year when they got swept in the World Series
