I am about 3 years older than Mark O and GY, so am trying to think of old Padres' memories as a kid. I remember seeing willie McCovey playing for us, late in his career. Mike Ivie, Johnny Grubb, Bob Shirley: I watched all these guys. I was there for this game for Gaylord Perry: Milestones On October 1, 1978, when Perry recorded his 3,000th strikeout (the victim was Joe Simpson of the Dodgers), he pitched 10 innings in a game the Padres won, 4-3. Also appearing in that game were future Hall of Famers Rollie Fingers (who relieved Perry and won the game), and Dodger starting pitcher Don Sutton. Some context, the Dodgers had locked up the divisions and were playing their expanded roster. After K 2,999, every time Gaylord got two strikes, the place was standing and clapping. To a 12 year old kid, it seemed like it took 45 batters to finally get the 3,000 strike out. Funny, this memory feels like I was 7 years old. I have memories of the Chargers 1979 season (when they beat both SB participants by over 25 points; Steelers, 35-7, Rams 40-16 but lost in the first round at home to Campbell-less Oilers), and I remember it through the eyes of a young teenager. This game I remember through the eyes of a little kid, but it was only a year apart. Odd thing, memory.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-40811">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Sorry, off the historical Padres roll, but last night felt a lot like this game:

"Saturday marked exactly 21 years since incoming Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn struck out three times in a game for the only time in his 20 seasons with the Padres."
