Ballpark's popularity has helped the Padres to raise past four to five payrolls to levels that produce a decent number of World Series appearances.
Monday night’s Padres-Cubs game marked the 20th anniversary of Petco Park's first official game. The ballpark itself, arguably the franchise's MVP, was unavailable for comment regarding its 20th birthday. But if you listen to the clicking turnstiles and cheers echoing off the Western Metal Supply Co. building, here's the message I'm passing along: It would be appropriate for Padres teams to match the East Village gem that stands to receive some 6.
A World Series at Petco Park would pair downtown San Diego with an event that originated in 1903, while complementing the Fall Classics in Mission Valley in 1984 and 1998. It would bookend the World Baseball Classics that brought international flavor to the East Village venue. As requests go, it's not unreasonable.
