Good morning, San Diego Padres fans and welcome to another day of our countdown to Opening Day 2019. As we have done with each day in our countdown (except for yesterday, sorry about that) we find some statistic or jersey number that corresponds and either take a look at what that stat means for 2019 or we take a moment to reflect on a player/moment from the past as we work through this long, cold winter offseason.
Now 78 days away, we take a moment to look at the ’78 season, the very first winning season in San Diego Padres team history.
