The Zero to Tony Gwynn scale is a rating of a Padres' importance to the San Diego Padres and their fans. The scale works to determine the relative importance of a particular Padre based on the assumption that Tony Gwynn is the perfect representation of the San Diego Padres.

Randy Jones, the crafty lefty, had some incredible years in the 70's that won him the Cy Young. He had his number retired and was inducted into the Padres Hall of Fame.

Maybe more importantly he brought his special brand of barbecue. A delicious tangy barbecue sauce spread over brisket, pork and hot dogs the size of your forearms. These meals became just as much his specialty as his left handed sinker.

Without a doubt he remains an integral part of Padres past and present.

But the real question is, how does he measure up against the greatest Padre to ever live... Tony... the... Gwynn.
