San Diego played in its last World Series 25 years ago this month. Current and former Union-Tribune staffers recall the sights, sounds — and smells
This month marks the 25th anniversary of the San Diego Padres' last appearance in the World Series. The 1998 New York Yankees swept Bruce Bochy, Tony Gwynn, Trevor Hoffman and San Diego in four games. Here's a game-by-game look at the Series, with commentary from five current and former Union-Tribune staffers who were there: The Friars defeated the Astros in the Division Series before dispatching the vaunted Atlanta Braves for the franchise’s first pennant since 1984.
Home plate umpire Richie Garcia blanked and called it a ball. On the next pitch, Martinez hit a grand-slam homer, part of a seven-run Yankees inning. What would have happened had Garcia called Martinez out on strikes? How different would the World Series have been had the Padres won Game 1?' Center: 'I thought Garcia’s call ended the Padres' hopes for the World Series.
