1983 Steve Garvey. First year with Padres after his defection from the Dodgers.

Do you Tony Gwynn fans recognize the model number and knob style?

Hey RC, those are some beautys!!!
And to think, the Padres retired both their numbers!!
Well deserved, I guess...

Tony switched from the B267 to the C263 after picking up one of Garvey's bats around '85-'86 I believe.
He would then switch back to the B267 permanently in the mid '90's.

Correct. Tony started using the tapered handle after picking up Garv's bat. So much trivia in dealing with a player's choice of weapon.

I thought the Padres retired#6 for Keith Moreland?

Waiting for the Friars to retire this guys number. Padres rookie in '73.

RC, Is it "choice of weapon " or "weapon of choice "?
