A trivia question during a San Diego Padres game mistakenly identifies Padres shortstop Khalil Greene as the first run scorer at Petco Park. Landon Burt, a former outfielder for San Diego State, corrects the error and claims that he was the one who scored the first run. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Petco Park, providing an opportunity to reflect on memorable moments from the past two decades.
The Padres regularly feature trivia question s on TV broadcasts as well as the ballpark video board at home games. It’s all Landon Burt can do not to throw a shoe at the television when he sees this one: Q. Who scored the first run at Petco Park ? A: Padres shortstop Khalil Greene 'It’s not Khalil Greene , man,' Burt shouts at the screen. 'It’s me. I scored the first run. That’s so inaccurate.' And Burt fires off a text to Padres broadcaster Mark Grant.
'Mudcat, we’ve got to get this right,' Burt says . 'C’mon. It’s my one shining moment in life, and you guys are getting it wrong.' Let’s set it right. Burt, a former outfielder for San Diego State, touched the plate nearly a month before Greene. This year is the 20th anniversary of Petco Park, providing an opportunity to look back at two decades of memorable moments. The first game was played there 20 years ago today — March 11, 2004 — when SDSU defeated Houston 4-0 before a crowd of 40,106. The attendance smashed the previous college baseball record of 27,673, set in 2002 when LSU and Tulane played at the Superdome in New Orlean
