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.

619 Sports caught up with Tony for a Hot Stove one-on-one interview.  How did he evaluate his first season in San Diego?  Is 2010 a make-or-break year in his career?  And what does he think of the Adrian Gonzalez trade talks?  Check out San Diego’s native son in an all-new interview:

Hey Padres! Do NOT deal Adrian!

So the San Diego Padres send out a ticket brochure to former season ticket holders for 2010 — and there isn’t a single photo anywhere in there of All-Star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. First thought: Does that mean that the Padres plan on not having Adrian Gonzalez on their ballclub next season?
 
Seems like a fair question. After all, why in the world would the Padres try to sell tickets without so much as a mention of the one true superstar they have to sell? Would the ‘89 Padres have put out a season ticket brochure without a photo of Tony Gwynn? Five years ago, would the Friars have left out Trevor Hoffman? Or Jake Peavy?
 
What in the world of weak-thinking marketing strategies is going on here?
