Who's your Padre?: On the second day ... it rained
"For breakfast Saturday, the Padres served, among other things, sausage wrapped in pancake batter. It looked just like a corn dog. I wasn't brave enough to sample. In fact, I didn't see too many players who did. Yogurt seems to be a popular choice among players, though again, I don't really keep track. That would be weird." -

Tailgating gets boot in stadium plan - SignOnSanDiego.com
In 2004, Padres fans largely gave up tailgating when the team moved from Qualcomm Stadium to Petco Park, just west of the potential Chargers site. The Padres’ Web site counts more than 27,000 parking spaces near the ballpark but says tailgating is allowed in only one lot, Tailgate Park. That lot has 1,040 stalls, though a Chargers move could lead to fewer because the stadium project may occupy part of the lot.

Great story on Wells
I was third generation PL high so it’s cool having Wells being a fellow alumni. He came and talked a couple of times when I was at high school. He’s definitely classic OB haha. OB is definitely a crazy place, like no other place in SD. It definitely shapes you a certain way.
Only bad experience I’ve had with Wells was my dad was trying to get his autograph at the Yankee preseason game back in the day (I remember it got rained out) and asked for an auto on a blue jays card for a former PL pitcher (my dad was the man back in the day) and Wells replied that he didn’t sign blue jays cards, pretty dick if you ask me.
Anyways, Wells is an awesome ambassador of San Diego and OB. Anyone think he will ever be in the HOF? Seems like a stretch, but who knows?

If the Hall of Fame
Took into account things like “ability to pitch well while dealing with a skull-numbing hangover”, then yeah, I’d say Wells is a shoe in.

Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a baseball; inside of a dog, it is very dark.

I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.
