During his 10-year career, Gwynn spent seven seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers (1987-1991, 1994-1995) and two seasons with the Kansas City Royals (1992-1993). He joined his older brother Tony with the San Diego Padres for his final season (1996).
On September 29, 1996, in the final AB of his career, Chris hit what would prove to be a game-winning, two-run, pinch-hit double in the top of the 11th inning against Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Chan Ho Park to complete a three-game sweep of the Dodgers and clinch the Padres' second National League Western division championship in history. Chris hit two pinch-hit walk-off home runs during his career.
He works as a scout (sport) for the San Diego Padres and lives in California with his wife JoAnn, his son Joshua Christopher Gwynn, and his daughter Maya JoAnn Gwynn.
