Wikipedia - San Diego Padres
The San Diego Padres are an American professional baseball team based in San Diego. The Padres compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) West Division. The Padres were founded in 1969 as one of four expansion teams to the league.
The Padres have won two NL pennants—in 1984 and 1998, losing in the World Series both years. The Padres are one of two Major League Baseball teams in California to originate from the state. As of the 2023 season, the Padres are the oldest team to have yet to win the World Series. As of 2022, the Padres have had 16 winning seasons in franchise history.
The Padres are owned by the estate of Peter Seidler, who owned the team from 2012 until his death in 2023. The first owner of the team was C. Arnholt Smith, a prominent San Diego businessman and former owner of the PCL Padres. The Padres play their home games at Petco Park, which has served as the home ballpark of the team since 2004.
From 1969 through 2023, the Padres have an overall record of 4,034–4,648–2 (.465).
History
Pacific Coast League
The Padres adopted their name from the Pacific Coast League team that arrived in San Diego in 1936. That minor league franchise won the PCL title in 1937, led by 18-year-old Ted Williams, the future Hall-of-Famer who was a native of San Diego. The team's name, Spanish for "fathers", refers to the Spanish Franciscan friars who founded San Diego in 1769.
Major League Baseball
In 1969, the Padres joined the ranks of Major League Baseball as one of four new expansion teams, along with the Montreal Expos (now the Washington Nationals), the Kansas City Royals, and the Seattle Pilots (now the Milwaukee Brewers). One of its earliest owners was C. Arnholt Smith, a prominent San Diego businessman and former owner of the PCL Padres whose interests included banking, tuna fishing, hotels, real estate and an airline. Despite initial excitement, the guidance of longtime baseball executives, Eddie Leishman and Buzzie Bavasi, as well as a new playing field, the team struggled; the Padres finished in last place in each of its first six seasons in the NL West, losing 100 games or more four times. One of the few bright spots on the team during the early years was first baseman and slugger Nate Colbert, an expansion draftee from the Houston Astros and still the Padres' career leader in home runs.
The team's fortunes gradually improved as they won five National League West titles and reached the World Series twice, in 1984 and in 1998, but lost both times. The Padres' main draw during the 1980s and 1990s was hall of famer Tony Gwynn, who won eight league batting titles. They moved into their current stadium, Petco Park, in 2004.
On August 20, 2020, the Padres became the first team in MLB history to hit a grand slam in four consecutive games earning the nickname, "Slam Diego Padres".
Until 2021, the Padres were the last team in MLB that had yet to throw a no-hitter. The record was broken on April 9, 2021, as Joe Musgrove accomplished the feat against the Texas Rangers, finally ending the longest no-hit drought by a team in MLB history. On September 5, 1997, Andy Ashby took a no-hitter into the ninth inning, which was previously the closest that the team had come to achieving this feat.
On November 14, 2023, Peter Seidler, who owned the Padres since 2012, died at the age of 63.
The Padres play their home games at Petco Park, a state-of-the-art stadium located in downtown San Diego. The team's colors are navy blue, white, and sand, and their logo features a swinging friar.
Over the years, the Padres have had some notable players, including Tony Gwynn, Trevor Hoffman, and Dave Winfield. The team has also made several playoff appearances, including two trips to the World Series in 1984 and 1998.
In recent years, the Padres have undergone a rebuilding process and have emerged as a young and exciting team. Led by stars like Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado, the Padres are poised to make a deep playoff run in the coming years. With a passionate fan base and a commitment to excellence, the San Diego Padres are a team to watch in the MLB.
