Alicia Gwynn creates a new career and is looking for a hit of her own

Alicia Gwynn was a full, lifetime partner with husband, Tony, whom she met in grade school. She was there by his side every step of his baseball career — to the Hall of Fame and beyond. He died five years ago, though, and, while still grieving, she has decided the time has come to rebrand herself.

That’s what Tony had wanted.

“Go do something you love to do,” he had urged.

So after working in the shadows for years — as a homemaker, caterer, sports merchandiser, writer and community organizer — Alicia is emerging into the spotlight.
