Fernando Tatis Jr. and Tyler Wade celebrate after Tatis Jr.’s walk-off double against the Chicago White Sox at Petco Park on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024 in San Diego, CA.

Here, they’re spirited as well — just not frostbitten.This year, the Padres ended up third. Among the big-market bluebloods they outdrew: the Yankees, Braves, Red Sox and Astros.
