Meanwhile the County of San Diego has been working to resurrect the giant Gwynn jersey that hung from the County Administration Building downtown when Gwynn was inducted into the Hall of Fame. They dusted it off and put it on display again today.

San Diego State University
On Montezuma Mesa, where Tony Gwynn worked as Head Baseball Coach for the Aztecs since 2001, flags continue to be flown at half staff. His plaque in front of Tony Gwynn Stadium was memorialized by the few students that are on campus during the summer. His number 19 was painted on the grass and his image displayed on the scoreboard.
