San Diego's Baseball team is called the Padres, a name derived from the Spanish word for "fathers." The name honors the city's historical connection to the Spanish Franciscan friars who founded the first mission in California, Mission San Diego de Alcalá, in 1769. The team was established in 1969, and the name reflects both the region's cultural heritage and its early religious history.
