All of San Diego is buzzing with excitement. Something truly extraordinary is now happening in our city. Millions of ordinary people–like me–are feeling the electricity.
San Diego Padres owner Peter Seidler is someone I’ll probably never meet. He’s someone millions who live in San Diego will never personally meet.
Thank you Peter Seidler for making the Padres instant World Series contenders.
Thank you for millions of sudden cheers, smiles, high fives, great days. Thank you for all the precious lifelong memories that are surely coming. Thank you for fresh feelings of hope–a sustained anticipation for tomorrow . . . the next game . . . the next series . . . the next October.
Thank you for strengthening a diverse city’s sense of unity. Thank you for reinforcing a feeling of pride enjoyed by millions who live in San Diego.
Thank you for all the lives that will be enriched and brightened.
Parents, their children, their grandchildren and countless generations will remember. And celebrate.
Lastly, thank you from a blogger who loves the Padres. Yesterday, as I listened to the game, I experienced goosebumps.
I’ll probably have more goosebumps this afternoon.
Time to shine!
GO PADS!
Cool San Diego Sights!
