The San Diego Padres are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in San Diego, California. The club was founded as an expansion franchise in 1969 and has been part of the National League West division since its inception. They play their home games at Petco Park which is located downtown on 10th Avenue near Harbor Drive.

The Padres have won two National League pennants; one in 1984 against the Chicago Cubs and another in 1998 against the Atlanta Braves, who went on to win that year’s World Series title. In addition, they have made six other postseason appearances: five consecutive playoff berths from 2005-2009, followed by another appearance during the 2016 season after missing out last time around due to a late season collapse with injuries playing a major factor into it .

Throughout their history, some of baseball’s most iconic players such as Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Jones and legendary Tony Gwynn played for them alongside future stars like Jake Peavy or Adrian Gonzalez..
