The San Diego Padres, established in 1969, began as a Major League Baseball expansion team in the National League. They initially struggled in their early years, but saw improvement in the 1980s, culminating in their first playoff appearance in 1984, where they reached the World Series. The team had a resurgence in the late 1990s, making another World Series appearance in 1998, but faced a prolonged period of rebuilding afterward. In recent years, the Padres have focused on developing young talent and have become competitive in the National League, making the playoffs in 2020 and 2021.
