One Year Ago, the Padres and Jake Cronenworth 'Slayed the Dragon'

Throwing back to arguably the best moment in franchise history.

While the Padres sadly didn't make the playoffs in 2023, the club and the fanbase can still look back 366 days and put a smile on their faces. The team slayed the dragon. They defeated the Dodgers with a come from behind win in the 7th inning fueled by a 2-run double off the bat of Jake Cronenworth.

Let's watch back and reminisce about the best inning in franchise history.

Powered by the rally goose and great vibes, the Padres advanced to their first NLCS since 1998 but fell to the equally vibing Philadelphia Phillies.

One year later, and it's a much different feeling out of San Diego. But there's hope for a rebound in 2024 with the core four back at it and better than ever after a season of learning and bonding.
