Re: The Official Mayor Pete/Dept of Transportation thread

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread

I knew the story Steve referenced. He’s the Padres career HR leader with 163. That seems really, really low, especially for a team that’s been in existence for over 50 years. People talk about bad franchises (and I’ll accept the slings and arrows for mine) but man, the Padres are really a disappoint...
