Attending the Tony Gwynn Opener has become my favorite tradition

Opening Day (and even more so the home opener) is such a magical day for baseball fans, especially those who can make it out to the ballpark. Seeing old baseball friends and watching your favorite team take the field for the first time after a long offseason - there's nothing like it. But there's another day that holds a special meaning for Padres fans. It's the day After the home opener, a day that has come to be known by many as Tony Gwynn Opening Day, or the Tony Gwynn Opener.

Gwynn loved the day after the home opener.
