The San Diego Padres had a solid season in 2004, and they hope to win
the National League West division race this year. The Padres were in the
thick of the West Division battle for much of 2004, and getting tickets
to see this potential champion should be a high priority. The San Diego
Padres Baseball Club, starting with the 2004 baseball season, makes
PETCO Park its home. The $500 million-dollar park replaced Qualcom
Stadium, formerly Jack Murphy Stadium, where the Padres played baseball
since they were awarded a team for the 1969 season. The capacity of
PETCO Park is 46,000. The Padres saw the new stadium boost ticket sales
and renew fan support. |

The San Diego Padres are a
professional baseball team, one of five teams in the West Division of the
National League (NL). The Padres play at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego,
California. The team’s name, a Spanish word commonly used for priest, was
inspired by the padres of the Roman Catholic mission San Diego de Alcalá, which
was founded in San Diego during the 18th century.
-
The Padres have reached post-season play three times in their 35-year history,
but have failed to win the World Series in two attempts, losing in 1984 and
1998. The most famous San Diego Padre baseball player is Tony Gwynn. Tony Gwynn
made his major league debut with the Padres in 1982 and finished his 20-year
career, all with the Padres, in 2001 with a lifetime .338 batting average and
3,141 hits, making him a first-ballot Hall of Fame guarantee.

The Padres’ history in Major
League Baseball has been relatively short, but many milestones and records have
been accomplished by baseball players wearing Padres uniforms. In 1971, Nate
Colbert hit 5 home runs and drove in 13 runs in a doubleheader against the
Atlanta Braves. The 5 home runs tied Stan Musial's major league record set in
1954, and the 13 RBI's established a Major League mark that still stands. In
1977, Rollie Fingers won the National League Fireman of the Year award, while
Bob Owchinko received the Rookie Pitcher of the Year award.
-
In that same year, Gene Richards
set a Major League rookie record for most stolen bases with 56. Gaylord Perry,
in 1978, earned the Cy Young Award, becoming the first pitcher to win the award
in both leagues. In 1980, the Padres become the first baseball club to have 3
players steal over 50 bases, Gene Richards, Ozzie Smith and Jerry Mumphrey, and
Rollie Fingers became the first pitcher to win the Fireman of the Year award 3
times. In 1987, catcher Benito Santiago set a rookie record by hitting in 34
games consecutively. In 1995, the Padres tied a 20th-century National League
record with 9 runs in the 10th inning against the Philadelphia Phillies. In that
same year, the Padres tied a National League record with 9 Grand Slams.
