The San Diego Padres are one of the worst teams in the MLB. However when I looked at their record for last year I was Surprised to see that they were not last in their division. The San Diego Padres are members of the National League West. The were established in 1969 and have never changed their name before. Their record for last year is 74 and 88. That is a winning percentage of .457. Like I said I was really surprised at how they did. Their record is still bad for a professional baseball team though. The other teams in their division are the Dodgers, Giants, Diamondbacks, and Rockies. The Dodgers easily won the division since they had the best pitching of any team in the National League last year. A fun fact about the San Diego Padres is that they are one of the two teams located in California that originated in California. There are a total of 5 MLB teams in that state. The other team the originated in California is the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The San Diego Padres have never won a World Series but they have been to two. In 1998 they beat the Braves in order to get to the World Series. That is very impressive because the Braves were unstoppable in the 90’s. It takes a really good team to beat them. However that was a long time ago and I don’t see the San Diego Padres winning or even making any post-season games anytime soon.
