The Best to Play Ball in San Diego
THE GREATEST PADRES EVER
SAN DIEGO’S BRIGHTEST DIAMOND DWELLERS
As we near the end of the 2019 MLB season, the San Diego Padres are on the rise for the first time in memory. While we may not make the playoffs this year, we might have a long window to compete for a World Series title. Perhaps one of the stars from our current roster will end up being the one to lead the Padres to their first championship. If that happens (fingers crossed), we’ll certainly need to add a name to the list of the all-time greatest players to ever don a Padres cap.
TONY GWYNN The Padres could play for another 200 years and never have player eclipse the career accomplishments of Tony Gwynn. Gwynn played for the Padres for the entirety of his 20-year Hall of Fame career. He won the NL batting title eight times, played in two World Series, and will go down in history as one of the greatest contact hitters to ever step into a batter’s box. When Gwynn passed away from cancer in 2014, the city of San Diego and the world of baseball lost one of their true icons. TREVOR HOFFMAN Today, every MLB team relies on a closer to come in and pitch the final inning of tight games. While
that role is now commonplace, it’s relatively new historically. Much of its popularity stems from the success of Trevor Hoffman, who recorded 601 saves during his career. Most of those came in San Diego, where Hoffman spent 15 years revolutionizing the role of the relief pitcher. When fans heard “Hell’s Bells” blaring from the loudspeakers, they knew Hoffman would be out for the ninth and that the Padres would almost certainly win. DAVE WINFIELD Along with Gwynn and Hoffman, Winfield is the only other player to be enshrined in Cooperstown wearing his Padres cap. Winfield played six teams during his career but burst onto the scene with
the Padres. During his time in San Diego, he made his first All-Star game and made the Padres a must-watch team. His cannon of an arm was the stuff of legend, often gunning down baserunners from seemingly impossible distances.
