35 yr old living in Virginia but originally from NJ. Padres fan since '83. My favorite player was Nettles and followed him over in the trade from the Yankees and have stayed a fan ever since. I guess I picked wrong ;). Try growing up in NJ rooting for a turrible team from the west coast, it sucks. The only games I would be able to see was when they played the Mets and Braves who are on TBS. Never been past the Ol' Mississippi River so I never have been to The Murph let alone Petco but I will soon. My wife can care less about beisbol and all sports so its a tough sell. I guess I picked wrong again, there seems to be a theme growing here. Let me stop before I tell you I wear pink panties
