For fans of the San Diego Padres.Ben Fadden talking about the San Diego Padres--and a little bit about other San Diego Sports!

Ben has been a diehard Padres fan since he was a kid & his family has had season tickets since he was 13.

He can’t wait to be here with you when the Padres finally win it all!
