Tony Gwynn Jr. is the biggest Lakers fan in the clubhouse, evident by his smile above. Did Gwynn have any plans for where to display his new prized possession?
"It can go anywhere. I can put it in my car and post it up in the back seat if I wanted to," Gwynn joked. "But I'll find a nice place for it."
Unlike teammates Matt Kemp or Dee Gordon, Gwynn doesn't harbor any delusions about his basketball ability, though he wants to challenge Magic to a 1-on-1 game for another reason.
"I'm not that stupid. I don't think I'm that good," Gwynn said. "But I would challenge him just for the sake of seeing him play in person, but not for any type of bragging rights because I know I'd probably get my butt kicked."
Mattingly got a jersey as well, and the lifelong Larry Bird fan joked that he would switch allegiances to Magic since he never got a jersey from Bird. Though Mattingly did say he has a pair of green Converse Larry Bird high-top shoes that he bought at an auction.
