The team joined MLB in 1969 as an expansion team and have won two NL Championships, in 1984 and 1998. The team played their home games at San Diego Stadium from 1969 to 2003. Starting with the 2004 season, they moved to Petco Park, where they have played since.^[1] The team is owned by the estate of Peter Seidler, and A. J. Preller is their general manager.^[2] There have been 21 managers for the Padres franchise.^[3] The team is currently managed by Mike Shildt.^[4]
