Mr. Padre

Mr. Padre tells the story of the life, career and untimely death of Gwynn, a lovable superstar and the greatest hitter of his generation. The hour-long documentary chronicles Gwynn's unwavering dedication to become the best complete player he could be, from his late shift to baseball from basketball in college to his pioneering use of video to further perfect his natural hitting ability and the enormous effort he put into becoming a Gold Glove defender. Interviews with former Padres teammates and manager Bruce Bochy, Tim Flannery and Jack McKeon, longtime Padres broadcaster Ted Leitner, and former opponents including Hall of Famers Tony La Russa and Mike Schmidt, and Harold Reynolds indicate the lasting impact of Gwynn's incredible on-field achievements and his approachable off-the-field attitude.

The film also looks at how Gwynn's devastating loss to cancer in 2014 at just 54-years old was felt across the country, from his family and friends to the entire baseball community. Through interviews with his family, including his wife of 33 years Alicia Gwynn and their children, former Major Leaguer Tony Gwynn Jr. and daughter Anisha, Mr. Padre gives an in-depth profile of the man who endeared himself to the community of San Diego through his 20-year career as a Padre and his 12-year career as head coach of the San Diego State University (SDSU) baseball team.
