The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

[R. C. Walker]

This one's dedicated to my Dad. He took me to my first two Padre games in 1974. Wouldn't you know, Dave Friesleben started both games . . . .

Here's Dave Friesleben's 1974 home jersey. Of course no way of knowing if he was wearing it, but I'd like to think he did. Not matter. This is my favorite style.

What a great jersey! And thanks for sharing the memories. Very cool that the jersey helps preserve them for you.

Wish the Pads had stayed with the brown and yellow, which gave them a color scheme unique to MLB. Unless a timeless classic, I don't mind when teams update their uniforms but I think it's a shame when teams change their colors.

Thanks. Whether it's a favorite player, a dynamic player or was a Hot Dog (example to follow someday) most if not all my jerseys have some meaning or memory attached to it.

You are correct about the brown and yellow. Those distinctive colors were associated with the Padres. Much like the green and gold of the Athletics. Someday the brown will return. . . .

Nice Spangenberg. Guy can fly around the bases.

Gonna hook me up with an Upton jersey this year??

Here's a 2013 Ronny Cedeno with the tilde. Gotta have a jersey with a tilde. And a knit to boot.

Thanks. I also have his 1st ML triple ball and his 1st ML at bat ball (ground out) and they are both authenticated saying that information.

I think we can make something work on an Upton. We should start getting some in this month.

Brian Myrow 2008 San Diego Padres road jersey (special sand color). Not a big fan of the Padres colors since they switched from Brown/Gold and/or Brown/Orange, but I thought the sand colored road unis to be different and set-apart (other than the usual gray).
