The San Diego Padres are a Major League Baseball team based in San Diego, California. They are a member of the National League West division.
The team was founded in 1969 and has since won two National League pennants (1984, 1998).
The Padres play their home games at Petco Park, which opened in 2004 and is located in downtown San Diego.
The team's colors are navy blue, white, and sand. Their primary logo features a navy blue "SD" intertwined with a white "P."
The Padres have had several notable players in their history, including Hall of Famers Tony Gwynn and Trevor Hoffman.
The team's mascot is a Swinging Friar, a nod to the Spanish Franciscan friars who founded the city of San Diego.
The Padres have a fierce rivalry with the Los Angeles Dodgers, known as the "I-5 Rivalry" due to the proximity of the two cities along Interstate 5.
In 2020, the Padres made a splash by signing star infielder Manny Machado to a 10-year, $300 million contract, the largest in franchise history at the time.
The Padres have struggled to find consistent success in recent years but have shown promise with a young and talented roster led by players like Fernando Tatis Jr. and Chris Paddack.
The Padres have a passionate fan base known as the "Friar Faithful" who support the team through thick and thin, making Petco Park a lively and exciting place to watch a baseball game.
