Future Padres Manager??

Nevin would put some much needed attitude in the clubhouse.

I hope you're not referring his attitude of, "Petco's too big, move the fences in."

I doubt he's the only hitter who feels that way.

It's gotten into their heads, Dave. Purely phycological. Justin Upton has hit the majority of his HRs at Petco this year.

Besides, I've seen plenty of opposing players crank out homers with ease facing Padres pitching.

Season ending, as usual, in early October for the Padres.

Every time i look at this jersey, 2010 Yorvit Torrealba, I remember how much of a hothead he was = YouTube!

Not a bad catcher though.

Here is another Phil Nevin home jersey from MLB TOUR OF JAPAN 2000 ALL-STAR SERIES!! Read an article i found on the web...

NEW YORK – Two-time Cy Young Award winner Randy Johnson and three-time Most Valuable Player Barry Bonds will be among 28 major leaguers who will travel to Japan for All-Star Series 2000.

Major League Baseball and the Players’ Association unveiled the roster Wednesday for the eight-game series that begins Nov. 3. The major league squad will play a team of All-Stars from Nippon Professional Baseball through Nov. 12 in Tokyo, Fukuoka, Osaka and Nagoya.

Among the 13 pitchers named to the major league team is Japanese closer Kazuhiro Sasaki of the Seattle Mariners, a candidate for American League Rookie of the Year honors.

The other pitchers are Johnson, Ryan Dempster of the Florida Marlins, Keith Foulke and Mike Sirotka of the Chicago White Sox, Danny Graves of the Cincinnati Reds, Livan Hernandez of the San Francisco Giants, Albie Lopez of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Derek Lowe of the Boston Red Sox, Eric Milton of the Minnesota Twins, Mike Myers of the Colorado Rockies, Mike Remlinger of the Atlanta Braves and Javier Vazquez of the Montreal Expos.

The catchers are Sandy Alomar of the Cleveland Indians and rookie Ben Molina of the Anaheim Angels.

National League MVP candidate Jeff Kent of the Giants heads the list of infielders that also includes Alomar’s younger brother and teammate, Roberto. The others are American League home run champion Troy Glaus of the Angels, Carlos Delgado of the Toronto Blue Jays, Phil Nevin of the San Diego Padres, Mike Sweeney of the Kansas City Royals, Jose Vidro of the Expos and Omar Vizquel of the Indians.

Los Angeles Dodgers teammates Shawn Green and Gary Sheffield join Bonds, Luis Gonzalez of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Jay Payton of the New York Mets among the outfielders named to the squad.

Any insight on this Andy Ashby Jersey... It's a 2008 version with a tag code of 0062. HOWEVER, Andy Ashby was never on the Padres Roster in 2008 (neither as a player or coach). They Jersey itself has the proper tagging, but doesn't quite add up to why it would have Ashby's name on it. Did the Padres have some kind of special event in 2008? The only thing I can think of is 10 year anniversary of their World Series appearance?

Well, Phil seems to be on the top five list. So, there is a chance he will manage the Padres next year!

Don't recall a World Series reunion in '08 but the Padres could have had some type of ceremony. Does the MLB Authentication have a date or is it for the signature?

Please NO!!!! Not some work-in-progress Manager!!!

Phil Nevin
Mark Kotsay
Dave Roberts
Sandy Alomar, Jr.
Ron Washington

I'd much rather have Dusty Baker or Ozzie Guilien before any of these. . . . But, I do have my nameplates at the ready if they happen to call.

I found this article about the 10 year reunion. I'm sure this is where Alejandro's Ashby jersey was used...

Jul 12, 2008
The Padres game Saturday night is sold out.

Why?

Twenty members of the 1998 National League champions are on hand to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Padres second National League pennant.

Why Saturday night?

It was the Braves who the Padres defeated in six games in the National League Championship Series to advance to the World Series -- where the Padres were swept by the Yankees.

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

Thanks for that article Guillermo! I figured it was something similar. The authentication tag only authenticated the signature, but not where the jersey came from.

Appreciate the help!
