Visit Padres Hall of Fame Plaza, Petco Park
The San Diego Padres hall of fame, created in 1999 to honor the club's 30th anniversary, recognizes players, coaches, and executives who have made key contributions to the franchise. Voting is conducted by a 35-member committee.
The Padres Hall of Fame Plaza is located near the left field entrance of the park at the back of the Western Metal Supply Company building. The facilities were part of the festivities for the 2016 MLB All-Star Game, which was hosted at Petco Park.
The plaza is a tribute to not only the history of the major league club, but also the history of baseball in San Diego, including the Padres from the Pacific Coast League (PCL).
On the same day the plaza opened, the Padres inducted San Diego nativeTed Williamsinto their hall of fame. He played for the PCL Padres in 1936 and 1937, and is also a member of theNational Baseball Hall of Fame.The Hall of Fame Plaza at Petco originally was to be named in honor of then-MLB commissionerBud Selig, but the Padres reconsidered after negative reaction from the media and fans.Plans for the plaza also included eventual statues of Padres greats.
