The Padres might be in the national spotlight long after the All-Star Game comes and goes. It may not have much to do with what transpires in the NL West, either.
FOX on Monday unveiled a trailer for “Pitch,” the upcoming fall series about the first woman to play in the majors – and for the Padres, no less. In addition to a number of familiar faces – Mark-Paul Gosselaar of “Saved by the Bell” fame as the Padres’ veteran catcher – the trailer features the Padres’ sun-splashed logo for the 2016 season, shots inside the actual clubhouse, the Sycuan and National University signs beyond the center field walls and shots inside and outside Petco Park.
