Want to fulfill your holiday spirit of giving and also give yourself (or your son) a chance to learn baseball from Tony Gwynn Jr?  Head down to the Eastlake Tavern on Thursday (12/17) from 6:30pm to 10pm to meet Tony and participate in his Holiday Toy Drive and Fundraiser.  A new, unwrapped toy could net you a prize package that includes Padres tickets and more!  Plus, you can help sponsor a child to participate in Tony’s Holiday Baseball Camp.

This is the Padres’ ironic lot: the curtain is coming down on them right as the team is getting their act together.
