Padres News: Stretch of the 15 Named After Tony Gwynn

The City of San Diego and the baseball world lost a hero last year in Padres Hall of Fame outfielder Tony Gwynn. Now for anyone driving along the 15 freeway in north San Diego they will be daily reminded of the great Mr. Padre. Monday a stretch of freeway from Scripps Poway Parkway to Camino Del Norte was re-named the Tony Gwynn Memorial Highway, as reported by NBC 7 and other outlets.
