When asked why no tribute was made to Tony Gwynn during this years All Star Game Fox and MLB issued this joint statement:

"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, an extraordinary individual whose memory we have honored in numerous ways in recent weeks. The Baseball family has sadly lost a number of people this year - including Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner, Frank Cashen, and former All-Stars Jerry Coleman, Jim Fregosi and Don Zimmer - and did not want to slight anyone by singling out one individual."

So thankfully Sully at Sullybaseball took the timme MLB and Fox didn't and made an amazing YouTube tribute to all baseball figures that have passed since last years All Star Game. It's only 2 minutes and 39 seconds long. This was what SHOULD of aired.
