Over the weekend I watched about three minutes of a baseball game being played in Boston. Two teams, who weren't the Padres, were playing against each other so fiercely it was almost like the game mattered or had some importance attached to it. The broadcasters calling the game mentioned something about a team's winning percentage at Fenway Park and that was all I needed to create a blog post about the Padres. I quickly turned off the television and got to work.
I was curious to see which MLB teams had the best and worst records in the Padres home of Petco Park. Once I had the data gathered and formatted neatly I sat on it for a few days to let it breathe.
This morning I quizzed those of you on Twitter to see if you could answer three questions.
QUIZ: Can you name any of the three MLB teams who are undefeated (3-0) at Petco Park?
— Gaslamp Ball (@gaslampball) October 15, 2013
With only three games played each, these teams obviously had to be from the American League. @ItsDis correctly answered Tampa Bay and Texas first, after a few incorrect guesses. @VocalMinoritySD found the third answer, the Twins, on the internets.
QUIZ: Can you name either of the two MLB teams who are winless (0-4,0-6) at Petco Park?
— Gaslamp Ball (@gaslampball) October 15, 2013
@VocalMinoritySD was quick with this one, a little too quick if you ask me. He had Expos and Royals before anybody else.
QUIZ: Which NL team has the best record (26-7) at Petco Park?
— Gaslamp Ball (@gaslampball) October 15, 2013
@Tony_Losoya guessed the Phillies correctly. This is the only answer I think I would have guessed. I remember for years (2008 to 2012) the Padres could not beat the Phillies at home. They had a 13 game losing streak until they finally won two in a row. Good times.
In any case here's the table with each team's record at Petco Park. Enjoy.
