The long-awaited trip to Petco

no question.  petco park is the most amazing ballpark i have ever been to!

no.  it doesn’t have the history of yankee stadium or the old time ambiance of fenway or wrigley.

it’s never hosted the world series (yet) or the all-star game.  and before you start telling me the padres stink or some other lame, unrelated judgment, let me tell you of the petco greatness:

72 degrees at game-time…1:00 in the afternoon

cool, off-shore breeze throughout the game

view of coronado island out the back

stunning view of downtown san diego…unbelievable architectural symmetry

angles, angles, angles…

fish tacos, carne asada burritos, hunan chicken, barbeque ribs, and grilled hot dogs.  mmm…

$10 parking, one block away…and i didn’t break into a full sweat while i walked.

no fights breaking out in the stands.

the fish market at seaport village for dinner after the game.

who knows?  maybe the padres will be back in the world series in the next couple of years!

remember, i’m a padre fan.  a dreamer and a believer to the end!  always have been.  always will be.  loyalty is a virtue.
