We're halfway through the season and I just wanted to share some of my favorite wholesome Padres moments from this year so far:

The fact that Higgy humbly shreds on the guitar in his spare time and loves 70s rock is one of my favorite things of all things.
And speaking of the kid....

This inning was already magic, but then Merrill, the rookie, hits a home run right to his mom in the ballpark where he grew up loving baseball?! Sometimes I can't believe this season. 🥹

...and of course, baseball's best broadcasting duo continue to be the best.
I won't bore you with the stats about how much the Padres have turned things around from last year. I'm just here to soak up (and document) the immaculate vibes. The comebacks, the walk-offs, the best rookie in the sport, the best (and only??) knuckleballer in the sport, the Higgy homers, the multiple Profar redemption arcs. There's just so much to love about this team. 💛🤎
PS: I've officially created a padres tag on this blog, so they better give me more reasons to post about them!
