One tough Tennessean . . . 1984 Ed Whitson. Had a great palmball and didn't take S#@T from no one.




Who can forget the infamous Pasqual Perez Beanball Fracas. . . .

It's not game used but it's Tony Gwynn "Single A" Contract

Game used or not, it's still a great item. Pro contracts from his career are probably rarer than his game worn jerseys are.

very cool Kyle.

More than likely these were used by the minor leaguers during spring training in the back fields of Yuma.

By the late 70's early 80's, the top Padres affiliates had their own uniforms. Possibility of Amarillo, Reno or Walla Walla though.

Neat photos! Thanks for sharing. If you have anymore old photos of Padres minor league teams please email them to me. I'm especially interested teams from 1984 and before.

Thanks guys!!!

Here are 2 more contracts! Tony's 1983-1985 and 1992-1995

Here is a rookie Luis Salazar road jersey. I think he is still working with the Padres even after he had one of his eyes taken out by a flying bat.
