San Diego became 'a real baseball town' when the Padres of the Pacific Coast baseball league played their first home opener at Lane Field downtown on March 31 1936
On March 31 1936, the Padres of the Pacific Coast baseball league opened their first home season with a 6-2 victory over Seattle before a packed house at Lane Field..
The attendance yesterday at Lane field when the Padres obliged by winning their first home stand was 8178 paid. On top of that were the honored guests and the entire band of WPA workers who had a hand in constructing the park, and still have considerable work to do. That ran the total to beyond the 10,00 mark, an indication of how San Diego is goring to take to its admission into Class AA baseball.
Herman Pillette, the 41-year-old right-hander, had a great day. He was getting them where he wanted ‘em, and that’s what counts. Frank Shellenback figured “old folks” was right and his guess was good. Shelley does a little hurling himself today.
