The San Diego Padres play baseball in the West Division of Major League Baseball's National League. The franchise began in 1969 as part of the MLB expansion that included Montreal Expos (Washington Nationals), the Seattle Pilots (Milwaukee Brewers), and the Kansas City Royals. The Padres have yet to win a World Series but do have two National League Pennants, one in 1984 and one in 1998. Watching the Padres play their in state and division rival, the L.A. Dodgers, is a must see for baseball fans. The teams delight in keeping one another from reaching the playoffs each year.
The San Diego Padres play their home games at PETCO Park in San Diego, California. The stadium is unique in that its architecture doesn't employ the red brick retro style seen most often in today's baseball stadiums. Instead the park has exposed steel and Indian Sandstone, which mirrors the cliffs and beaches around San Diego. The park actually incorporates an old metal supply building originally situated on the same site into the current architecture, making it a great example of the reuse of materials. The Padres' home stadium is an architectural wonder and a joy for baseball fans to visit. Buy San Diego Padres' tickets today and watch the team fight for its first World Series title!
