THIS DATE IN PADRE BASEBALL
1998 SEASON
Padres off day
Why? Because they share a stadium with the NFL Chargers, who have priority over them. Today was an exhibition game, and that somehow superseded an actual MLB game!
Hence the campaign to get the Padres their own ballpark!
News and Notes - Prop C is on the ballot in November for funding for a new ballpark.
