Nearly two years after the family of Padres great Tony Gwynn began selling off memorabilia from his storied career, more of his personal artifacts are up for bidding. SCP Auctions is currently conducting Part 2 of the Tony Gwynn Memorabilia Auction, which began last week and runs through Jan. 21.
A total of 26 items, all coming directly from Gwynn’s widow, Alicia, are featured in SCP’s 2017 Winter Premier online auction. They include the baseball from Gwynn’s 3,000th hit, his Baseball Hall of Fame induction ring and the 1995 National League batting title award.
The full collection can be viewed at scpauctions.com. A portion of the proceeds will go toward the Tony and Alicia Gwynn Foundation, a non-profit based in San Diego that focuses on improving opportunities for youth.
“My husband was a man of honor and integrity who really wanted to make a difference in this world,” Alicia Gwynn said in a release. “Just like the first auction, this one serves two objectives: to share his baseball memorabilia with the fans who loved him and to give something back to the city that treated us so well.”
