Buy a Tony Gwynn Brick !

Dear Gaslamp Ballers,

It's me, your old friend jbox.  We here at Gaslamp Ball usually don't condone doing good deeds.  But if you purchase one of these Tony Gwynn bricks then the proceeds benefit the Padres Foundation for Children.  Let's be honest folks, children are our future and if we teach them well and then let them lead the way and we can kick back and get lazy.  Now I'm not even really sure what this foundation does, but I'm confident that it has something to do with children, so buy that brick.

I know what you are thinking, "why would I buy a brick to congratulate Tony when I can just spray paint my congrats to him graffiti style on a wall or yell at him at an SDSU game?"

Oh yes there is one more benefit.  If Gaslamp Ballers buy 10 bricks then we are going be sent a picture of Khalil Greene's wife and supposedly she is super hot. For some reason people come to our site a lot looking pictures of his wife. Don't ask me why. Apparently this is where people expect to find such things.

  • As part of the "Tribute to Tony Gwynn Weekend" presented by Cox Communications/4SD, July 20-22, 2007, a stunning statue of Tony Gwynn will be unveiled at PETCO Park and will be surrounded by a small brick plaza.
  • FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY, fans have the opportunity to purchase these bricks with a personal message honoring "Mr. Padre" as he goes into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.  But in order to have the bricks engraved and ready for installation with the statue this summer, all orders need to be received by MAY, 15, 2007.
  • To order your brick, or for more information, log onto padres.com and click on the "Tribute to Tony Gwynn Brick Campaign" TODAY.  You can also call 1-800-GO-PADRES.
  • Proceeds benefit the Padres Foundation for Children.

So if any of that sounds interesting or you were thinking about buying a brick anyway click on the link above.  Or if the prices are too steep, get a few friends together and split the cost.  Do what you gotta do.

I doubled over in laughter at this
Small Wonder was such an awesomely bad show.

I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do.

He's normal except for the tanning booths, shaving his body, and walking around with no clothes.

Should buy a brick.  That way years from now, when gaslampball is dead people will look it and wonder.

Way to be pessimistic
How about 10 years from now when Gaslamp has its own network program, you'll look back and remember your roots.

Did anyone else notice...
Was anyone else listening to the Padres game on the radio last Friday when the Colonel was talking about these bricks and told everyone to go out "and buy a Tony Gwynn dick"?  At least that's what it sounded like.  Andy was quick to change the subject.  I got a kick out of it.

Dontrelle
As much as I like D-Train, he's struggled this year. his team just seems to like scoring runs for him.
