Our First Game At Petco Park - Padres v Rangers

Took Tristyn on her very first trip to San DIego and we spent the entire time at the ballpark! We went to see the Padres play the Texas Rangers in Petco Park. On her mission to get a toss up from all 30 teams, she didn't have one from the Padres or the Rangers, so it was a great oppertunity. We also ran into a few hall of famers (like Ivan Pudge Rodriguez and Dave Winfield), explored the entire packed stadium. Yes, Petco Park was sold out plus some due to the Hall of Fame ceremony, the Blake Snell bobbleheads, and just being an awesome Friday in the summer. Tristyn did end up with a couple of baseballs and both were in unique ways as well as being at a new park! We had so much fun and we will definitely be heading back down to see the Padres again soon.

Very cool to have gotten a ball outside the stadium!! Loved seeing Winfield. Nice catch pre-game from the bullpen. Lots of highlights and fun moments, and it was nice seeing so many different parts of Petco.

[@doubleueyett]

It was a fun experience for sure! (Even though it was PACKED! 🤪)

[@toemblem]

@@doubleueyett pretty cool to get a comment from @zackhample .

[@doubleueyett]

@@toemblem He's a good dude. :)

[@wilber53]

Nice stadium...waiting for the day that Tristyn catches a home run ball up in the corner!

[@doubleueyett]

lol. we only sit up there for about a half inning, and most likely it would be impossible to hit it there, but it would be cool!

[@doubleueyett]

….and it would be foul. :)

[@wilber53]

@@doubleueyett I was thinking of that. We use to call them Bob Uecker seats..

[@toemblem]

What a cool thing to do with your daughter. As a father of an 18 year old daughter, I can attest that they remember things like this fondly. You are doing it right. Also, Petco is amazing. If/when you do go back, get those tri tip nachos from Seaside. You won't be disappointed.

[@doubleueyett]

She's got a ton of memories coming! lol. We will be doing Petco again this season, I'll try those nachos! We are gonna do a few other stadiums as well!! :)

[@tastyneck]

That was a fun, wholesome vid! I'm from SD but havent been to Petco yet, so I'm a little jealous. lol Looking forward to you two's visit up here in SF to Oracle Park. It's a great ballpark, which I can admit even as a Padres fan.

[@doubleueyett]

Thanks for watching! Petco was amazing and you definitely need to visit it, I know we will again soon! And we can't wait to visit Oracle, I am pretty sure it will be quite soon!

[@toemblem]

Oracle is a great park but part of what elevates Petco is the surrounding neighborhood.

[@sarahshulman2086]

Since I was born and raised in San Diego, petco park definitely is not a new stadium for me

[@doubleueyett]

Well I was born in San Diego too and they played in San Diego Stadium (1967-1980) Jack Murphy Stadium (1981-1997) Qualcomm Stadium (1997-2011, 2012-2017) Snapdragon Stadium (2011) SDCCU Stadium (2017-2020)……. Petco is new to some people. 😀

It’s really cool u got it outside the stadium. It’s always nice to find different way to get it. Surprise u kept the camera running at me when I grab that baseball on the ground and running liked that. I didn’t keep that two baseballs I grab in the video u got and gave it to a kid that didn’t have one. Glad u and your daughter had a fun time at Petco.

[@doubleueyett]

We had a lot of fun there and will be back for sure! So cool you found yourself in the video. You were very fast! Great job on the two balls and very cool of you to give them to others that didn’t have one :)

[@brandontran5362]

@@doubleueyett if I would have to guess the ball fell short of bouncing into u and your daughter section and into the empty row on the ground where I grab it on that ground rule double. It’s bounce further than I thought it’s probably would been easier if your daughter reach for that baseball or take advantage empty row so u and your daughter can have the empty row to yourself so u and your daughter won’t bump into each other in the same row. Liked I probably wouldn’t dare run liked that if u or your daughter are in the way.

[@doubleueyett]

@@brandontran5362 it is all good. We just walked up at that point. :)

[@BaseballRoadTripper]

Yes! That sneaky area to peak at BP is AWESOME! Also, being as you two are frequent admirers of the Dodgers, it didn’t burn when you entered Petco? Did you at least feel a little uneasy and like someone might uncover you as Dodger-supporters? 😂

[@doubleueyett]

HAHA! I had to leave the Dodger gear at home for this one, but since I was born in SD and was a Padre fan from birth till about 4yrs old, they gave me a pass.

[@BaseballRoadTripper]

@@doubleueyett whew, glad you could still pass as a local. Even though I had no ties to SD, Tony Gwynn was a favorite of mine. Not only did he have a great first name, but he was very similar to Kirby Puckett; those guys were hitting machines!

[@doubleueyett]

Thse guys were amazing! I loved seeing the cool named guy playing when I was younger. I still enjoy my Gwynn memorabillia in my collection. Puckett was awesome and he has his own section in my collection as well!
