SAN DIEGO -- I've been to Petco Park often enough that I was going to offer our subscribers a video tour of the place. But then, thinking about it further, I thought I'd put that challenge to San Diego native Joe Musgrove and ... let's just say he was every bit as good as he was on the mound last night.
And not just because he was wearing his Ryan Shazier 'Shalieve' T-shirt.
My thanks to Musgrove for stepping up for our subscribers. Take it away, man ...
Yeah, you'd never believe that part about becoming a broadcaster, right?
Wow.
Anyway, I did snap 10 pics for you of this exceptional place, among my favorites in Major League Baseball, opened in 2004. And I hope you enjoy these at least half as much as Musgrove's contribution to the file:
