San Diego Padres and Major League Baseball fans across the U.S. were upset by the omission of any Tony Gwynn tribute at Tuesday night's All-Star Game . A day later, the response from Fox and MLB may have made matters worse.

They took to Twitter in increasing intensity and outrage in the waning moments of the game — and in its immediate aftermath — to voice their objections.

The best response may have come from the Padres. The team's tweet about 90 minutes after the game ended summed up all the emotion, wordlessly, with a single photograph.

'Absolutely shameful'

Derek Jeter

So Fox opened its 2002 All-Star Game telecast with a tribute to Ted Williams narrated by — wait for it — Tony Gwynn: https://t.co/8ysEPoEZH6 — Matthew T. Hall (@SDuncovered) July 17, 2014

Two ASG selections, zero ASG appearances for @HustonStreet. No Tony tribute. The Padres are officially the least-respected team in baseball. — Ben Higgins (@BenHigginsSD) July 16, 2014

All of you angry about no Tony Gwynn tribute? You are damn right. — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) July 16, 2014

I did think there would be some sort of moment of silence or recognition for #TonyGwynn at some point; #itwasnottobe pic.twitter.com/7IZoW6xKvS — Dave Winfield (@DaveWinfieldHOF) July 16, 2014

It's unbelievable they went through the entire All-Star Game without mentioning Tony Gwynn. — Eye on Baseball (@EyeOnBaseball) July 16, 2014

93 mentions of Jeter on the Fox Deportes broadcast. (They didn't mention Tony Gwynn, either.) — Timothy Burke (@bubbaprog) July 16, 2014

Fox did run a segment featuring former players' memories of Tony Gwynn during the pregame show on FS1. But nothing on actual broadcast. — Timothy Burke (@bubbaprog) July 16, 2014

Fox = Tone Deaf RT @WhiteyLax how was there no mention of AllStars passed away ie #TonyGwynn but at least they got in the birthday shoutouts — Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) July 16, 2014

Great game, but MLB really screwed up by not having a tribute for Tony Gwynn. — Robert Murray (@RobertMurrayMLB) July 16, 2014

I watched all of the all star game . They did not have any type of tribute or even talk about Tony Gwynn .Did I miss something? — John Kentera (@CoachKentera) July 16, 2014

3.5 hours and not a single mention of Tony Gwynn. Absolutely shameful. — RageWynn (@RageWynn) July 16, 2014

That Tony Gwynn tribute brought tears to my eyes. #iwish — Joon Lee (@iamjoonlee) July 16, 2014

Wait a minute... Nothing on Tony Gwynn? An overdone Jeter slurpfest and nothing on Tony Gwynn? — Matt Clapp (@sharapovasthigh) July 16, 2014

If Jeter dies at 54 like Gwynn did, Fox and Selig will instantly rename it the Derek Jeter Only The Good Die Young Memorial All-Star Game. — Chad Finn (@GlobeChadFinn) July 16, 2014

Fox mentions tonight: Jeter: 446. Gotham: 12. Pepsi with real sugar: 7. Tony Gwynn: Zero. — Eric Wilbur (@GlobeEricWilbur) July 16, 2014

Here is the joint statement/explanation/excuse/unapology from Fox and Major League Baseball that followed about 24 hours after the game ended and the uproar began.The statement has been criticized because of how Tuesday's game was itself a tribute to one person — retiring Yankee— and because of how Fox and MLB began their broadcast 12 years ago.Tuesday night, there was a nice gesture byAnd ex-major leaguer Fernando Tatis said there was a moment of silence for Gwynn in the seventh-inning stretch. (It turned out not to be the case.)But the TV audience wanted more. Many commented on the oversight. Some even called it a slight, compounded by the fact that the Padres lone All-Star selection didn't get into the game — again.Then U-T Padres writer Dennis Lin made this point.And tributes of people's own began to pour in, including the one aired on Fox Sports 1, which was shared by its assignment manager as the crescendo of complaints built after the game.Here is how the Padres weighed in Tuesday night — with no words.
