A Padres super fan with Down Syndrome, Preston Cale, played God Bless America at a spring training game and stole the show. Preston's father expressed his pride in his son's performance, stating that Preston loves to entertain and does not get nervous. Preston is a well-known figure at Petco Park and even got to ring the Mission Bell, landing him on the Jumbo-Tron. The stars of the team, including the mascot and Manny Machado, always seem to be drawn to Preston.

SAN DIEGO — A Padres super fan is sharing one of the highlights of his young life. In this Zevely Zone, I went to Bay Park to meet Preston Cale.

If you've been to Petco Park, you've probably seen Preston."Preston is probably the biggest Padre fan in Petco," said Dave. Preston then told me,"I got to ring the Mission Bell." The Padre tradition landed Preston on the Jumbo-Tron. Picture after picture proves there's something magnetic about Preston."I hugged the mascot," said Preston. Whether it's a mascot, or getting an autograph from Manny Machado, the stars always seem to gravitate to Preston.

Preston often leaves it all on the dance floor. Even when we arrived to me him, he was waiting for us with two handmade signs that read"The story about me, in the Zevely Zone."Preston may struggle to talk, but his music speaks loud and clear. At the end of God Bless America, Preston used his hands and heart to communicate this to the crowd."It's P for Peter, S for Seidler and a heart," said Preston.
