Nice HOFers Kyle! That's only the second Padres Maddux I've seen.

Ditto 1980 - home version.

John D'Acquisto . . . My Dad's favorite pitcher.

The Count is one of my Facebook friends. I always found him interesting and good to the fans.

Hey Dave, thanks!
I'm sure the first two games were fun for you Cubs fans though...

For sure...I had front row box seats down by the Cubs bullpen for both.

Not if you're a Cubs fan (like me)

Dave Miedema

PS: Still a great jersey, nonetheless.

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

Sorry Dave . . . . More from '84. Carmelo Martinez Road.

Unfortunately, the two things I remember about the Cubs at this time were the scathing and ill informed Mike Royko piece before the NLCS “We Are Going to Slaughter Those Lousy Wimps” and Keith Moreland along with Ron Cey turning their backs on the Padres during player introductions.

Here is a 1984 Gary Templeton World Series year road jersey. Mr. cheerleader, without his flag waving and enthusiasm, I don't think the Padres make it to the World Series in '84.
Fun times!!

Here is a rookie Luis Salazar road jersey. I think he is still working with the Padres even after he had one of his eyes taken out by a flying bat.

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

Thanks guys!!!

Here are 2 more contracts! Tony's 1983-1985 and 1992-1995

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

More than likely these were used by the minor leaguers during spring training in the back fields of Yuma.

By the late 70's early 80's, the top Padres affiliates had their own uniforms. Possibility of Amarillo, Reno or Walla Walla though.

Neat photos! Thanks for sharing. If you have anymore old photos of Padres minor league teams please email them to me. I'm especially interested teams from 1984 and before.

very cool Kyle.

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

It's not game used but it's Tony Gwynn "Single A" Contract

Game used or not, it's still a great item. Pro contracts from his career are probably rarer than his game worn jerseys are.
