What I remember? The fans staying after the fourth game... Cheering the Padres even though they'd just gotten sweeped. The look of astonishment on the players as they came back out was amazing. I'll never forget it.
The 84 and the 98 teams were so special.I was working and living in Phoenix, watching the LOS against the Cubs.When Steve Garvey hit the game winning home run in Game 4 off Lee Smith, I remember running up and down the hallways of my office like a little kid. Then watching the 98 team on the last day of the season at Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix, playing the expansion Arizona Diamondbacks. Then playing Houston in the LDS and newcomer Jim Leyritz blasting a home run. Put as beating on the Braves to win the pennant. And then making the trek to NYC and Yankee Stadium. Tony hit the mammoth home run shot off of David Wells. It is a time as San Diego Padres fan's I will always cherish!!!!
What a great team. That 2-2 pitch to Tino Martinez was a strike. I still believe to this day that the series complexion changes if that pitch was called a strike. But that's baseball... Great memories. It's been a tough day, but great to see Tony Gwynn at the end there. RIP, Tony.
just an fyi, even Tino Martinez has agreed years later that he looked at strike 3. I also believe like others that world series would have turned out different had the Padres won that game like they should have.
That Grand Slam on the next pitch shifted all momentum towards the Yankees. Up until that point, they seemed beatable, after that 2-2 pitch, they became unstoppable.
Wow, I know this roster better than the current one. The Pads! Rip Tony, Camy, and Show. Hopefully no one else. Oh I guess Coleman counts. So Rip even though you were sorta fake. (on the radio, in real life he was a grouchy old fart but his wife, you can't get any sweeter or classy) I sure hope the BB Gods don't make us wait as long as the cubbie fans. Im 53, long suffering fan. Since I was about 10 I've never missed a Charger game but once PR retires I hope that changes bc of the Fing Spanos family. Yeah Baseball has too many games. I can't believe I used to listen to every single game or watched if possible. Jerry Coleman, Bill Campbell, Ted Leitner. talked to me more than my family did. I miss the Q.
Bob melvin It time to bring back 2006 San Diego Padres reunite at pecto park 2022 I Remember padres win 98wins 64loss in 1998 series with tony Gwynn 19 Trevor haffman 51 Bring back 1998 blue jersey navy hat 1991 in 2023 in pecto park San Diego .
my boy Cammy and Tony are San Diego Padre Leyends. that's what a championship does to get them a stadium. Chokers could be where Petco Park if they won the Super Bowl. Sockers (15), Gulls (6). Padres (5) and Chokers (2). best to the worst in titles.
I think San Diego padres should win make a playoffs 2022 and 2023, 2024 We are looking for first win World Series since 1998 Bring back 1998 blue jersey navy hat 1991 in 2023 in pecto park We need Bruce bochy 15 in San Diego we miss him The San Diego Padres 1998 are best record 98 wins 64loss 1 NL champions With former San Diego Padres manager Bruce bochy 15 .
Too bad they got sweep by the more powerful Yankees club in the world series.But man what a great season/team it was...nowadays they just suck big time!
It would've been nice, but Rickey wasn't part of that 1998 team. He played for the Padres from in 1996 & 1997, and then again in 2001, but he was playing with the Oakland A's in 1998.
The sellout stuff is so childish. Most people take the most money offered to them. From around '96-'00 and especially 1998, Brown was in the same class as Clemens, Pedro, Johnson, Schilling etc.
Makes my heart smile ❤
We miss you Tony

Friar Faithful, same thing happened yesterday
Best Padre team of all time! So many of my favorite players.

RIP Ken Caminiti
Jim Leyritz was hitting HRs in the clutch that year. Great video Marty!!
This team was full of clutch players...what a year on 1998...this coming from a Dodger fan raised in San Diego..
The only thing worse than a Dodger fan is a Dodger fan raised in San Diego, clearly you were raised wrong and you can’t convince me otherwise
Don't need to convince anyone. so save your opinions
We miss you tony and ken

Tim McPhate I was at a private QnA and Carlos Hernandez stated that it was a strike, no doubt about it.
Agreed, however, I never quite understood why Bochy didn't bring in Randy Myers or another "reliever" instead of Langston.

Bring Kevin brown back for picthing coach Padres
My gosh this was like the year before Tony Gwynn’s death
You can tell he just doesn't look like his usual self although he did put on a brave smile nonetheless.
I went to the parade downtown after the world series. Did anyone else go?
I think San Diego padres should win make a playoffs 2022 and 2023, 2024
We are looking for first win World Series since 1998
Bring back 1998 blue jersey navy hat 1991 in 2023 in pecto park
We need Bruce bochy 15 in San Diego we miss him
The San Diego Padres 1998 are best record 98 wins 64loss 1 NL champions
With former San Diego Padres manager Bruce bochy 15 .
Baseball is a business, remember that. Kevin Brown was great for us that season, who cares what he did after....
Let do it again Padres 19
Too bad they got sweep by the more powerful Yankees club in the world series.But man what a great season/team it was...nowadays they just suck big time!
The homies.
Was Tony not doing well back that year?
Um yeah, bro. He died a year later.
Oh my. I did not know. 20 year reunion will feel more like a funeral service. So sad.
Not sure how my fellow Padres fans really thought Kevin Brown was going to re-sign. He was a hired gun just to get Petco Park built.
The Baseball gods and God knows when it's our year Padres fans. Also It would if have been better if got Rickey hendrson in that.
It would've been nice, but Rickey wasn't part of that 1998 team. He played for the Padres from in 1996 & 1997, and then again in 2001, but he was playing with the Oakland A's in 1998.
Even Sellout Kevin Brown Huh? I wonder how much did they have to pay him to come...
Everyone knew Brown was gonna be 1 and done..we got a great year out of him
The sellout stuff is so childish. Most people take the most money offered to them. From around '96-'00 and especially 1998, Brown was in the same class as Clemens, Pedro, Johnson, Schilling etc.
