From Lane Field at the San Diego Harbor, 1936-1958, to Westgate Park at Mission Valley, 1958-1967, to the current Petco Park,  –  from the minor league to the majors, – the San Diego Padres have always been enthusiastically supported by the members of Mission Hills UCC.

In a 1961 church newsletter, we read “The Deacons are sponsoring the baseball game on June 9 at Westgate Park with proceeds to be divided: 50 cents to our church, 50 cents to the Council of Churches, and one dollar to the San Diego Padres.”
