Tony Gwynn was remembered during a memorial service at Petco Park on Thursday night.

Gwynn, a Hall of Famer who spent his entire 20-year career with the San Diego Padres, died on June 16 from oral cancer, a disease he attributed to years of chewing tobacco.

The 54-year-old never hid his affection for San Diego, embracing his "Mr. Padre" nickname and declining to leave San Diego as a free agent on numerous occasions.

Reggie Jackson and Trevor Hoffman were among the speakers who addressed the crowd of about 20,000 from a stage erected in right field, just in front of the No. 19 carved into the outfield grass.
