Dodgers vs. Padres: The Unexpected Rivalry Igniting Baseball’s Fiercest Battles
Even after three full years, those words still hit home. When discussing the relentless tension between the Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, the late Padres owner Peter Seidler captured the essence perfectly. Back in August 2022, during an intense Sunday Night Baseball showdown at Chavez Ravine, he vividly described the Dodgers as “the dragon up the freeway we’re trying to slay.”
That metaphor reflects more than just rivalry – it’s about respect entwined with an unyielding ambition. Seidler made it clear: San Diego’s mission isn’t just playing the game; it’s about clinching a championship. And with that fiery spirit, one of the most charged and electric rivalries in modern baseball has been ignited.
