SF Gate: Gwynn almost didn't play baseball at San Diego State

"If I had ended up going to Arizona State instead of San Diego State," Bobby Meacham says now, "I don't think Tony plays baseball."

Gwynn confirmed the story in a Friday conference call arranged by the Hall of Fame, saying if Meacham didn't enroll in his college, "I'm probably not sitting here talking to you right now."

It's a cool story, I'll let you read it yourself without giving away how it all happened.
