The San Diego Padres are an American professional baseball team based in San Diego. The Padres compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the National League West Division. The team was founded as an expansion franchise in 1969. The Padres play their home games at Petco Park, which has served as the home ballpark of the team since 2004. The team's name, Spanish for "fathers", refers to the Spanish Franciscan friars who founded San Diego in 1769.
The Padres are owned by the estate of Peter Seidler, who owned the team from 2012 until his death in 2023. The first owner of the team was prominent San Diego businessman C. Arnholt Smith. The Padres are one of two Major League Baseball teams in California to originate from the state. The Padres have won two NL pennants, in 1984 and 1998, losing in the World Series both years; they are the oldest team that has never won the World Series. As of 2023, the Padres have had 17 winning seasons in franchise history.
Among the eight expansion teams of the 1960s, the Padres were the last to reach the postseason. Randy Jones achieved the first Cy Young Award for the Padres in 1976.
