Fernando Tatis Jr. made a lot of headlines after the San Diego Padres' epic eight-run comeback against the Chicago Cubs on Monday. If hitting the two-run homer to take a 9-8 lead wasn't enough, Tatis was wearing custom cleats, which were a shoutout to Hall of Fame right fielder Tony Gwynn, aka "Mr. Padre."Gwynn, a 15-time All-Star, spent his entire career with the Padres before retiring after the 2001 season and is a revered figure in franchise history. Tony Gwynn died in 2014, and Tatis' cleats struck a chord with the fanbase, as well as with Gwynn's family.His son, Tony Gwynn Jr., got a look at the cleats in person and shared a photo of himself and Fernando Tatis Jr. appreciating the cleats on Instagram. He captioned the post:"Respect 🤝."

Tatis credited Tony Gwynn for the hit and mentioned that he would play in them again:"Definitely the shoes. The power came from above. Always grateful. Definitely a little bit inspired today. I'm going to keep playing with them. Hopefully, they keep sending good luck. Just happy I was wearing those shoes today."Tatis also credited his teammates for not giving up and fighting all the way:"It was amazing. But all credit to the boys, we were down 8-0, and we were never out of the game. We kept building, we kept taking good at-bats against tough pitches. The boys started executing. We started moving the line. We kept believing in each other and that was just the final blow."While the Padres came out 9-8 winners in that epic comeback, the largest in their history, the Cubs rebounded to a 5-1 win on Tuesday. San Diego stands at 6-8 and second in the NL West, and need to get back to winning ways if they are to put pressure on the 10-4 Los Angeles Dodgers.
