There Are Those Who Call Me Tim's Ticket Stubs

Celebration 3,000! There was a pre-game celebration recognizing Tony Gwynn's 3,000th hit, which he achieved a few days earlier in Montreal. When Gwynn finally got to speak, the first thing he did was apologize to the Marlins for delaying the start of the game. It didn't seem to effect them though, because the Marlins beat the Padres 4-3. Padres starter Brian Boehringer left with an injury and would not pitch again until the 2000 season. Joy and I went to this game and sat in the front row behind center field.
