SAN DIEGO — The cars lined both sides of Tavern Road and Victoria Park Terrace as far as eyes could see. They jockeyed for spots because of a man sitting at a small table in a parking lot next to a giant ice machine, sandwiched between a landscaping business and a Shell station.
They came to get a glimpse of Padres' homegrown pitcher Joe Musgrove, to get close enough to truly sense and feel how much he wants to win a World Series as part of the team he rooted for as a kid in El Cajon.
Young boys in mustard-and-mud jerseys cautiously crept closer to the spot where he was being interviewed on 97.3 FM's "John Kentera Show." A 92-year-old fan talked about the franchise's long-yellowed Lane Field days.
