SAN DIEGO -- Approximately 20 Padres from the 1998 National League pennant-winning squad converged on San Diego this weekend to commemorate the anniversary of one of the greatest teams in franchise history. This much was clear: none could believe how much time had passed.
"Twenty years is a long time, but it doesn't feel that way," said Padres TV broadcaster Mark Sweeney, an outfielder on the 1998 squad. "You get back together, and all of those memories start edging back into your mind."
The 1998 Padres won 98 games and the National League West.
