The San Diego Padres were one of the most exciting teams in the 2024 Major League Baseball playoffs.
After finishing the regular season with a record of 93-69, the Padres knocked off the Atlanta Braves in the wild-card round before losing to the eventual World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series.
The Padres took the Dodgers to game five before eventually losing, but their fan base went all out for the team’s home games.
MLB Analyst Robert Flores points out the Padres fans as becoming one of the best.
“I think that fanbase has emerged as one of the best in all of baseball. In all of sports,” Flores said.

The Padres ensured that their fans would be the only ones at their home games by restricting who could buy tickets in certain areas.
This move took the MLB news by storm and showed just how dedicated the team is to its fans, and the fans showed their appreciation by completely supporting their hometown team during the postseason run.
Although the Padres do not have a World Series title in franchise history, the team appears to be trending in the right direction with three postseason appearances in the last six seasons.
The Padres’ last World Series appearance was in 1998, but the team will get another shot in 2025 as they try to take down the Dodgers in the National League West.
Even though the Dodgers team seems dominant on paper, the Padres will try to dethrone them in 2025 and win their first NL West title since 2006.
