Ron Burgundy Wins Padres' First 'Anchorman' Race at Petco Park

Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. aren't the only new faces at Petco Park this year.

The Padres introduced fans to another team regular with their first-ever "Anchorman" race against the Giants on Friday featuring Ron Burgundy himself. The newest addition to in-game entertainment pitted members of the original Channel 4 news team against each other. Burgundy defeated sports anchor Champ Kind, field reporter Brian Fantana and weatherman Brick Tamland in the race's debut. It was kinda a big deal.
