Tony Gwynn, Jr. may be a long-shot to make the opening day roster, but I didn't want that to hold him back from having his very own Chachi card. I was browsing through the team's picture day photos posted on the ESPN photo wire, and once I saw that Gwynn's picture was included I knew he was going to get his first Phillies card - albeit a virtual one. If Gwynn makes the club, he'll be the third son of a Hall of Famer to play for the Phillies.
Dick Sisler (1948-1951), son of George Sisler (HOF 1939)
Earl Averill, Jr. (1963), son of Earl Averill (HOF 1975)
Tony Gwynn, Jr. (2014?), son of Tony Gwynn (HOF 2007)

Photo Day happened already? Damn these Olympics for distracting me...
I love Photo Day, the first chance to see images of players in their new unis.
