Offseason

Regular season

As of 2016, no Padres pitcher has ever thrown a no-hitter. The closest any has come to date came on July 18 against the Philadelphia Phillies, when Steve Arlin came within one out of a no-hitter before a Denny Doyle single broke up the bid.

Awards and honors

1972 Major League Baseball All-Star Game

Colbert scored the winning run, but he brought the wrong uniform with him to Atlanta. The San Diego Padres' slugger donned his road jersey with SAN DIEGO on it instead of his home one with PADRES on it.
