The San Diego Padres are a Major League Baseball team based in San Diego, California partially owned by Ron Fowler. They play in the National League Western Division. Founded in 1969, the Padres have won the National League Pennant twice, in 1984 and 1998, losing in the World Series both times. As of 2013, they have had 13 winning seasons in franchise history. The Padres and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are the only MLB teams in California to originate from California, while the Athletics are originally from Philadelphia, and the Dodgers and Giants are originally from New York.
The Padres hold the unlucky distinction of being the only team in MLB yet to throw a no-hitter since their addition to the league in 1969.
