Happy Election Day.
Related, several readers have asked me a ballot-box question over the past several years.
Did San Diegans pick the wrong sports team to subsidize?
I understand why you’d ask.
The Padres have yet to win a playoff series since San Diegans voted 20 years ago to fund a downtown ballpark largely with public money.
Pads ownership and its proxies never promised playoff victories and return trips to the World Series, yet did imply that a new ballpark would better the odds on the field.
Leading up to the ballpark vote, the Pads were coming off their second trip to the playoffs in three years.
