A Beautiful Day For A BallGame

 

   Yesterday was a beautiful day for a ballgame, especially for Padres fans. The Friars are enjoying a great start to the 2026 season, and continued that start with a come-from-behind victory over the Rockies compliments of a 3-run jack off the bat of birthday boy Gavin Sheets in the 9th.

   His father, former MLB outfielder Larry Sheets, had to be smiling from ear-to-ear.

   This game also featured the sons of two other former MLB players - Rockies 3rd baseman Kyle Karros, son of Eric, and Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr, son of Tatis Sr.

   Former MLB pitcher Billy Wagner's son Will also plays for the Padres, but he is currently on the IR so did not see any action in this game.

   Baseball is a very family-centric game.

   And yesterday was a great day to bring the family out to the ballpark, especially if your family is comprised of Padre fans.
